Chris-
We recently changed the opendap license to the one you
currently see because James felt uncomfortable using the
Apache license. Is there something about that license
that makes it unsuitable for your use?

Hi James,
Are you able to provide an OPeNDAP java release under the Apache Software License, v2 [1]? That would *really* make OPeNDAP useable in a number of Apache projects that I'd love to use the API in (incl. Tika directly).
Currently it looks like it's some BSD-style license [1].
Cheers,
Chris

Hello all
I have been silent for a long time, busy on other tasks. But now I would like
to work on this Maven Central task (it is a blocker issue for Geotoolkit.org
release).
Since we can not fix the 4.2 deployment, I suggest to create a new release:
4.2.1. This release would contains only two artifacts in the edu.ucar group.
• unidatacommon, which has no dependency.
• netcdf, which depends on the following:
• unidatacommon
• slf4j-api
• slf4j-jdk14 (by default, user may exclude this dependency and
choose an other one).
I think that the following dependencies are optional, most of them required
only if we use OpenDap. Can someone confirm please?
• bufrTables
• opendap
• jdom
• commons-httpclient
• commons-codec
• commons-logging
• ehcache
Given that we have not yet sorted out the OpenDap licensing issue, I suggest to
leave OpenDap and its dependencies out for now, and maybe add them in a 4.2.2
release. Does anyone agree with this plan?
A while ago I asked Dennis to change the license on the opendap software
specifically so that it could be included. If there's another issue, or if time
is tight, I certainly understand. However, if licensing is the only reason,
that problem has been resolved AFAIK.

There is a proposal for the unidatacommon pom.xml file:
http://hg.geotoolkit.org/netcdf-deploy/file/tip/unidatacommon.xml
I will update the netcdf pom.xml proposal after we get confirmation of the
minimal set of dependencies.
Regards,
Martin
