Aw: Re: jmapviewer: bing logo

hi Ian,

Sorry but I've worked ~2 years on the freeplane package for it to be in jessie/main,

und we're ~2 weeks from the jessie freeze, so if including the logo is DFSG compliant

then that is enough for me.

=> So I see two options:

1. I get a positive reply from Microsoft soon --> I will include the image.

2. I will remove the logo and tilesource/BingAerialTileSource.java from the jmapviewer package,

and apply a patch to josm so that it works without it

(@Sebastiaan or another GIS member: could you help me with this?

I think we can already prepare this!)

Best Regards,

Felix Natter

I agree that we should avoid advertising Bing. (For reasons of
principle, but not DFSG reasons.) But if the software can display
Bing maps we shouldn't disable that. So there is a conversation to be
had about exactly how that works in the UI.

One easy option would be to put the Bing compatibility stuff in a
separate package in non-free.

Another possibility would be to have the program download the logo
itself from the Bing website somewhere, along with the Bing map data,
when the Bing option is used, but such a thing ought to be in contrib.

Ian.
