I mentioned a while back that I was working on pulling CSVDataStore back into geotools. Currently I just need to fix up some licensing issues and then the first step will be complete. Finally, I’ll modify geoserver to pull in the correct geotools module instead of having a separate CSVDataStore implementation.
For licensing, I believe the update should make the headers look like:
(c) 2014 OSGeo …
(c) 2012-2014 OpenPlans …
Doing a git log on CSVDataStore, the first commit was in June 2013, but Jody informed me some work began as early as May 2012.
My geotools pull request can be seen here. If it’s all right, I’ll make my final update and work on the geoserver change next.
That is correct, you have also asked on the list here (and gotten a +1 from a PMC member). The reason we are so formal on this one as this back port changes the code license back to a more permissive license (in this case the docs are public domain, and the unsupported module LGPL).
In general (when the licenses are compatible) you do not need to ask.
