Hello.

 Currently C API of GEOS seems to be available according
to http://geos.refractions.net/ro/CVS.txt.

 Current spgpclib cannot be used for commercial use.

 I think it will be better to use GEOS(its license is GPL,
probably) , based on OpenGIS and has more functions than
gpclib.

 Has sp packages dev. team any plan to develop new sp
package employing GEOS instead of gpclib?


 Regards.
