Speaking of AWIPS II, Are we still looking at a 3/15/10 completion date? I
haven't noticed any updates on the site in a while...
We will ask to get an update from NCEP at the Unidata User's Committee
meeting March 11-12. We will post any new information as soon as
possible after the meeting.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response to my rant. Unfortunately, this paragraph was
difficult to take:
- We have contacted NCEP about providing access to the source code in a
repository fashion. Currently, Unidata does not have the rights to
distribute the software in this fashion. NCEP requires us to have
users register to download the software. If we are able to set up a
repository access, we will be looking for some experienced community
members to vet any changes before they are committed to the
repository.
Where is this restriction included in the source code we download? What
exact license is GEMPAK under? If this is correct, any of us downloading
users are not permitted to redistribute the source code either? Did NCEP
invite some sort of new open source license I am not aware of? Does this
NCEP license violate the licenses of any of those packages in extlibs?
If somebody in the community put GEMPAK on Github, we'd get a takedown
notice?
