| Hi Everyone, 
 I hope your week is going well. I have a few questions/topics I
    wanted to bring up.
 
 1) Project name
 
 As per:
 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Project_Naming_Policy
 
 "As a defensive measure, the Eclipse Foundation holds the trademark
    to the Project names on behalf of the Projects - this prevents
    companies from misusing or misrepresenting their products as being
    the Projects.) The EMO will initiate a trademark review prior to
    scheduling a Creation
      Review. Existing trademarks must be transferred to the Eclipse
    Foundation (please see the Trademark Transfer Agreement)"
 
 I hope this is OK?
 
 2) Third party software
 
 As you expect, our IP team won't have a mandate to engage until the
    IWG is launched and the uDig project proposal submitted.
    Nevertheless, I wanted to take a look to understand a bit about the
    software distributed in uDig's packaging to educate myself better.
    Here's a quick method I used: http://pastebin.com/iBFgFnFb
 
 Aside from Eclipse stuff, I see:
 
 net.refractions.udig.* <= is this all code from the uDig
    project
 eu.udig.* <= Looks like this was contributed by
    HydroloGIS, correct?
 
 Apache: Ant, Batik, Lucene, Xerces, XML resolver &
    serializer, commons, jasper - all under Apache license v2
 w3c: org.w3c.css.sac and org.w3c.dom events, smil, and svg
    (W3C software license)
 javax: servlet, xml, and servlet.jsp (Apache license v2)
 org.mortbay: jetty server and util (Apache license v2)
 org.tcat.citd.sim.udig: bookmarks
 com.ibm: icu (ICU4J license)
 com.lowagie: itext (Looks like MPL?)
 com.mapquest: mq (anyone know what license this is?)
 
 net.refractions.udig.catalog.geotools <= looks like geotools
    itself is not actually distributed with udig but instead assumed to
    be installed on the box, is this correct? Same with gdal?
 
 Thanks in advance for confirming these important details.
 
 3) Contribution agreements
 
 Has uDig used any sort of contribution agreements?
 
 Best regards,
 
 Andrew
