The article also mentions another Free Software
I failed to mention, which I want to remedy now:
It is called deegree.
Note that deegree was written in Java and it is not secured
that it runs on completely Free Software systems.
In most settings it requires proprietary Java software.

To help Free Software we must avoid the Java-Trap:
