Hello Niall, Thank - your comments have been very helpful.
I've fixed & closed the two JIRA tickets you opened. To clarify - the entire project is available under the Apache License. I've updated those info.txt files to reflect that. Sorry for the confusion. Lastly, I've removed the set of pngs from the test image collection that "collection_info.txt" described. Those images weren't adding anything significant to the tests, and I've been meaning to remove them for a while. We are going to cut a new version of the release that reflects these and other changes. Voting will return to sanselan-dev@ before it returns to gene...@.
