[DebianGIS] maplab analysis



Hi all,

I saw the wiki had maplab as one of the top priorities and that it
should be easy. Some things I found while looking through the source:

Some binary-only jars of something called rosa:

htdocs/gmapfactory/templates/app_rosa.jar
htdocs/mapedit/rosa
htdocs/mapedit/rosa/rosa.jar
htdocs/mapbrowser/rosa
htdocs/mapbrowser/rosa/rosa.jar

Classes in it:

com.sixlegs.image.png.*
Rosa2000
some associated classes (seem like GUI related things)

This seems to be here: http://maptools.org/rosa/index.phtml
I didn't look at the source for this yet.

The data dir seems like it contains stuff that may not be copyrighted by
the maplab folks:

http___ceoware2_ccrs_nrcan_gc_ca_cubewerx_cubeserv_cubeserv_cgi_.xml
http___wms_cits_nrcan_gc_ca_cgi_bin_cubeserv_cgi_.xml
http___www_cubewerx_com_demo_cubeserv_cubeserv_cgi_.xml

tutorial/etc/ and htdocs/mapbrowser/template/etc contain some fonts that
say "Copyright 1992 by Elfring Soft Fonts, All rights reserved." in
their copyright information. We should ask maplab folks to remove these
from the .tar.gz since they don't seem to be distributable.

There is an applet in htdocs/common/color_picker that will need to be
compiled. In that dir is one of its build dependencies moz3_0.zip, which
contains binary .class files. The README says it is "Class needed to
compile ColorPicker applet". There is also npsimple.so, which I can't
find source for. The README says it is the "Netscape linux plugin".
There is also JSObject.jar, which is not mentioned in the README, but
the Makefile in that dir has these  lines:

CLASSPATH = :.
colorpicker.class: colorpicker.java ImageButton.java
        @javac -classpath ${CLASSPATH}:JSObject.jar colorpicker.java ImageButton.java

In htdocs/common/wmsparse/ there is a C prog. Parts copyright of
different ppl, all look free tho. It needs libxml2-2.4.13 or greater.


Then there are the shapefiles in tutorial/data/. I'm not sure if
shapefiles are able to have copyright data embedded in them, strings
doesn't show anything, so these are probably fine.

htdocs/common/appcontext/appcontext.php says "Copyright DM Solutions
Group Inc 2002 All Rights Reserved". I presume this is a mistake.

The rest are php, html, txt, gif, jpeg, png, css, javascript and other
text-based files that look to be gis-related. I have not checked
anything not mentioned above.

The HISTORY file should probably be installed as a changelog.gz, and the
INSTALL-LINUX.TXT file should probably be edited to remove installation
requirements and procedures and then installed as README in the package.
