Additional Libraries and Code used
*************************************************************************
GeoServer uses several additional libraries and pieces of code. We are
including the appropriate notices in this file. We'd like to thank all
the creators of the libraries we rely on, GeoServer would certainly not
be possible without them. There are also several LGPL libraries that do
not require us to cite them, but we'd like to thank GeoTools -
http://geotools.org, JTS - http://www.vividsolutions.com/jts/jtshome.htm
WKB4J http://wkb4j.sourceforge.net iText - http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
and J. David Eisenberg's PNG encoder http://www.catcode.com/pngencoder/
GeoServer also thanks Anthony Dekker for the NeuQuant Neural-Net Quantization
Algorithm. The copyright notice is intact in the source code and also here:

The GeoServer Project also thank J. M. G. Elliot for his improvements on
Jef Poskanzer's GifEncoder. Notice is included below on his Elliot's
release to public domain and Poskanzer's original notice (which is new
BSD). Source code is included in GeoServer source, with modifications done
by David Blasby for The Open Planning Project (now OpenPlans).
------
Since Gif89Encoder includes significant sections of code from Jef Poskanzer's
GifEncoder.java, I'm including its notice in this distribution as requested (appended
below).
As for my part of the code, I hereby release it, on a strictly "as is" basis,
to the public domain.
