Abstract
As satellite data becomes more ubiquitous we are moving into an era where access to said data is handled by (Application Programming Interface) API end points and through web requests. Planet Labs has 100(s) of doves or nano satellites which they are using to create near daily satellite data for everyplace on earth. Planet releases a lot of its data for humanitarian as well as research purpose under education licensing. However the volume of data can sometimes becomes overwhelming to handle without being able to batch download and process imagery. A graphical user interface(GUI) was designed to wrap around a python based command line interface(CLI) for users to easily interact and batch download satellite data from Planet Labs. This tool allows the user to easily work with Planet's python API without any prerequisite knowledge of python or programming and to batch download data. It does however require you to have python in the system path. The tool is designed to reach those who have constrained technical backgrounds and/or resource availability while maintaining a robust back end and functionality.

A licensee of Apache Licensed V2 software can: copy, modify and distribute the covered software in source and/or binary forms, exercise patent rights that would normally only extend to the licensor provided that: all copies, modified or unmodified, are accompanied by a copy of the license, all modifications are clearly marked as being the work of the modifier, all notices of copyright, trademark and patent rights are reproduced accurately in distributed copies, the licensee does not use any trademarks that belong to the licensor. Furthermore, the grant of patent rights specifically is withdrawn if: the licensee starts legal action against the licensor(s) over patent infringements within the covered software This rewriting of the BSD licence tries to achieve a few things. Firstly it adds an explicit grant of patent rights where that is needed to operate, modify and distribute the software. Some argue that such a grant is implicit in other open source licences, but the Apache License v2 spells it out, as well as explicitly withdrawing that grant in the circumstance mentioned above. It also contains solid definitions of the concepts it uses, providing more certainty as to its intended meaning. Among these is a definition of Contributor that contains another interesting feature of the licence. A Contributor, as distinct from someone who just modifies the software, also grants a licence to their modification back to the original authors. This mechanism, if taken up, simplifies control of the code. Finally the v2 licence is usable by other projects without the need to replace wording in the licence document itself.
