== Outstanding Issues ==
In gdal/data we have several coordinate system dictionary files derived in one fashion or another from other source (via translation scripts):
* gdal/data/cubewerx_extra.wkt: derived from definitions distributed by Cubewerx, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2165
* gdal/data/ecw_cs.wkt: Derived via much processing from ERMapper GDT definitions, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2162
== Included Libraries ==
* zlib: gdal/frmts/zlib
* libtiff: gdal/frmts/gtiff/libtiff
* libgeotiff: gdal/frmts/gtiff/libgeotiff
* libjpeg: gdal/frmts/jpeg/libjpeg
* libpng: gdal/frmts/png/libpng
* libgif/libungif: gdal/frmts/gif/libungif
* libcsf: gdal/frmts/pcraster/libcsf
* hdfeoslib: gdal/frmts/hdf4/hdf-eos
== Non-free Libraries ==
Note: all the following are build options, not required.
* Oracle OCI for OCI OGR driver.
* ESRI SDE for SDE OGR Driver.
* ECW SDK for ECW/JP2ECW GDAL driver (close to free now I think).
* Kakadu for JP2KAK GDAL driver.
* MrSID SDK for MrSID/JP2MrSID driver.
* DWGdirect library for DWG writing.
== Code Reviewed ==
=== gdal/port ===
* Various contributors including Daniel Morissette, Andrey Kiselev, Frank Warmerdam and Mateusz Loskot.
* cpl_minizip* files come from the "minizip" distribution. Placed under a modified BSD Licence (see port/LICENCE_minizip). Added to gdal/LICENSE.TXT
=== gdal/gcore ===
* Various contributed, but mostly FrankW.
* All copyright held by FrankW.
* Version.rc contributed without copyright notice by Martin Daly, clarification requested. Martin explicitly agreed by email, notice applied, all ok.
=== gdal/alg ===
* contour.cpp: Joint copyright between FrankW and ACT.
* gdal_crs.c: derived from old GRASS/UMichigan code also under MIT license, properly noted in headers.
* gdalmediancut.cpp: derived from libtiff tiffmedian.c utility under a GDAL compatible license. Properly noted in headers.
* gdalrasterize.cpp: Derived from OpenEV code. Relicensed from LGPL to MIT by explicit grant from copyright holder (Frank Warmerdam).
* gvgcpfit.c: Believed to be derived from Numerical Recipes in C. It has not been used for some time, but was still in the CVS repository. I have now removed it.
* llrasterize.c: Derived from GD which has compatible MIT license. Properly noted in header.
* thinplatespline.cpp: Contributed by VIZRT Inc., Relicensed to MIT with their explicit permission as noted in the header.
=== gdal/data ===
* Contains various data files without copyright messages embedded.
* cubewerx_extra.wkt: derived from definitions distributed by Cubewerx, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2165
* ecw_cs.wkt: Derived via much processing from ERMapper GDT definitions, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2162
* seed_2d.dgn, seed_3d.dgn: Exact source of these files is unclear. The files contain no substantial creative content since all but the header elements were stripped. Judged to acceptable use.
* NTS-50kindex.csv: Provided by Matt Wilkie, derived from NRCan dataset, rights unclear. See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2164 (closed - this file isn't actually in the source tree - it is separately distributed as part of FWTools!)
=== gdal/apps ===
* gdal_contour.cpp: copyright held by ACT.
* gdaltindex.cpp: copyright held by DM Solutions.
* gdalwarp.cpp, gdalwarpsimple.cpp: copyright held by i-cubed.
* gdaldem.cpp: copyright held by Matthew Perry, Even Rouault, and Howard Butler
Derived from code by Michael Shapiro, Olga Waupotitsch, Marjorie Larson, Jim Westervelt :
U.S. Army CERL, 1993. GRASS 4.1 Reference Manual. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Construction Engineering Research Laboratories, Champaign, Illinois, 1-425.
Derived from modules of GRASS 4.1 (public domain), properly noted in the headers.
See http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2975
=== gdal/doc ===
* no copyright messages in .dox files.
* ERMapper logo used with permissions.
* "ru" subdirectory (Russian translations) by Andrey Kiselev.
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/generic ===
* Some files here (and elsewhere in OGR) copyright Softmap Inc (but MIT).
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/avc ===
* Some copyright Daniel Morissette, MIT.
* Included copy of dbfopen.h from Shapelib. We really ought to reference the one in ../shape.

=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dgn ===
* Copyright Avenza Systems (MIT).
* dgn_pge.cpp, dgn_pge.h, pge_test.cpp, vbe_pge.cpp: copyright Pacific Gas and Electric, all rights reserved! (this has all been removed from trunk)
* web/* docs lack any copyright message. The isff.txt originally came from Intergraph and dgn.html is a reformatted version of that. Perhaps these ought to move out of GDAL CVS tree - action: this has been removed from svn. (#1813)
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dods ===
* all FrankW, clean.
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/fme ===
* All code is Copyright Safe Software, "All Rights Reserved"! - License changed to MIT with explicit permission from Dale Lutz. Copyright still held by Safe.

=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/grass ===
* copyright Radim Blazek, MIT.
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/ili ===
* ili level code copyright Pirmin Kalberer (Sourcepole), MIT.
* iom/ili2c.jar is ambiguous. (#1812) (removed - ok)
* iom source code is all LGPL (per iom/README.src.txt) but none of the source files have a copyright or license header. Action: this file has been removed. (#1812)
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/mem ===
* All FrankW, clean.
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/mitab ===
* Copyright Daniel Morissette, Stepane Villeneuve, Frank Warmerdam (MIT).

* FrankW, clean.
=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/tiger ===

=== gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts ===
* Some copyright softmap Inc, all MIT.
=== gdal/ogr ===
* SpatialReferenceIdl.idl, GeometryIdl.idl, CoverageIdl.idl: From OGC spec package I believe. (removed)

NOTE: This code is implemented on the basis of work by Mike Higgins. The
BSB format is subject to US patent 5,727,090; however, that patent
apparently only covers *writing* BSB files, not reading them, so this code
should not be affected.
