Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : gaia
Version : 0.1.0
Upstream Author : gaia@serezhkin.com
* URL or Web page : http://gaia.serezhkin.com/
* License : GPLv2
Description : Google Earth client
Gaia is both a free library and free client to Google Earth for Linux,
*BSD, MacOS X and in future also Windows.
It was developed by reverse-engineering the Google Earth protocol and
is based on many well-known open source components including OpenGL,
SCons, cURL, SDL, libjpeg, libpng, libgps and Doxygen.
The author is neither named on the gaia website, in the file COPYING
(which seems to be an unmodified GPL template) nor in the source
itself. Only the e-mail address mentioned above is given as contact
possibility. And www.serezhkin.com is not reachable at the moment.
Kind regards, Axel

Sorry, but it seems that Google send a cease&desist letter to gaia
developers, as you can see in their webpage (URL above):
25 November 2006, we've got the letter from Michael Jones, the Chief
Technologist of Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Local search,
requesting us to cease reverse engineering and improper usage of
licensed data that Google Earth use. We understand and respect Google's
position on the case, so we've removed all downloads from this page and
we ask everybody who have ever downloaded gaia 0.1.0 and prior versions
to delete all files concerned with the project, which include source
code, binary files and image cache (~/.gaia).
