Today sees the launch of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo, https://www.osgeo.org/ ), a not-for-profit initiative to support and promote the development of open geospatial, or location-aware, technologies.
The organisation will serve as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit.
(...)
Initial OSGeo projects have been identified as GeoTools, Mapbender, MapBuilder, MapGuide, MapServer, Geospatial Data Abstraction Library/OGR, Grass, and Ossim.
The foundation will not require OSGeo software projects to be licensed under any one particular open source licence, but will require that all OSGeo software is released under an open source licence approved by the Open Source Initiative.
