Re: [netcdf-java] NetCDF jars=>Maven Central Repos?

I was wondering what made James feel uncomfortable about using the ASLv2 
license?

Not sure, but trying to figure out why the ASLv2 isn't being considered? In my 
experience it's quite flexible in terms of redistribution, commercialization, 
and attribution issues in FOSS software, which are all important things to 
consider as a downstream user of FOSS.

Cheers,
Chris
