Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-25 04:40:41 UTC 
<http://gaia.serezhkin.com/>:

"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)."


We should remove gaia-0.1.0.tar.bz2 from our mirroring system too.

Yeah, see my last planet post.  Removed gaia from CVS.

Version 0.1.1 is in Portage now.  This uses NASA World Wind and so has no possible copyright issues anymore.
