JTS request

   1.

   Any questions on relicense:
   https://github.com/locationtech/jts/issues/124
   2.

   Email request for another letter, this time for Oracle SDO code:
   1.

      See:
      https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/JTS-Shapefile-Contribution
      2.

      Ian would like to see these combined (in the future) cannot do so now
      because we extended to allow curves
      3.

      Q: Is this Letter for new SDO code, or for old code they already had.
      A: For old code they already had (that uses the JDBC driver directly)

Q: EPL is being modified to work with GPL (great) does that mean we can
remove the EPL clause from our geoserver license?

Not sure, we may need to update to a new version of EMF / XSD for this to
work.

action: Jody to ask for update on the locationtech email list.

action: Jody to write a wiki page letter for the requested classes
