In the past weeks 52°North has updated the licenses of two projects to facilitate their usage by switching over to a non-copyleft license. The project 52n-commons-xml was switched completely to the Apache Software License Version 2.0. The internal API and dependent code from the 52°North WPS project was also moved to the Apache 2.0 license. The implementation of this API, however remains under GPL v2. We hope this will allow more users to integrate our work into their architectures and source code projects. Below is a short description of why and how we did this.more >
