GPS.NET 和 GeoFramework开源了

GPS.NET GeoFramework在今天开源了，从作者的表达看，看出一个技术创业者的无奈。但是对开源社区来说，这是good news。我在做GPS开发的时候，也参考了他的代码，开始公司也打算购买他的库，后来由于不想使用太多dll，才打算自己写了一个NMEA的分析器。这个库的代码写的十分好，对GPS开发很有益。

We've Closed Our Doors

Due to the tough economic conditions and rapidly changing climate for GPS and GIS software, we've had to close our doors. It's been a great four-year run and nothing has been as rewarding as hearing from customers about what they've accomplished with our software. Indeed, writing a component is a great way to be a little part of projects all over the world.

What now?

As promised, a contingency plan has been activated for all existing customers to ensure that they can continue to support their projects with no downtime. Customers are now being contacted with further instructions.

A portion of our source code has been released to the public domain under the LGPL license. Further code may or may not be released in the future. For now, released code is available at CodePlex:

GeoFramework 1.0

This is the C# source code for GeoFramework 1.4.7, the production code used by GPS.NET version 2.3.20

GeoFramework 2.0

This is the C# source code for GeoFramework 2.0.0, the production code used by GPS.NET version 3.0.0

GPS.NET 2.3.20

This is the C# source code for GPS.NET 2.3.20.

GPS.NET 3.0.0 (Beta)

This is the C# source code for GPS.NET 3.0.0 beta.
