Forwarding a request for assistance from the PROJ mailing list, for
access to projection grids for Brasil. thanks. -jeff
---------- Forwarded message ---------
Hi,
I'm requesting help from good wills of the community to help us grow
our datasets of grids at
https://github.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid/ Below a few candidates I've identified, mentionned in EPSG and with a
number of them with
download links, but license clarification would be needed.
This file has a sort of CC license
(https://gist.github.com/rouault/1ff4ad2d8053e068f9dbf451572692f4) but
with a
annoying non-modification clause that makes it incompatible with our
requirements
(we might want to transform it to another format like GeoTIFF),
and no version/link to the actual CC license.
Copyright info I could find is
"Hinsichtlich seiner Datenbanken verfügt das BEV über das ausschließliche
Werknutzungsrecht gemäß §§ 40f bis 40h UrhG und das sui generis-Recht
gemäß §§ 76c bis 76e UrhG."
Of course there are certainly gaps to fill for other countries I've
not mentionned...
Even

In summary: once these Brasil grids are added to the PROJ library, then
they can be distributed in QGIS and therefore give accurate projection
readings for all QGIS users in Brasil :)
Please consider helping Even Rouault get access to those grids, so he
can add them into the PROJ library.
thanks,
-jeff

Isso é uma coisa que eu venho falando tem um tempo, nos grupos que participo, seria muito mais bacana para nós, se os nossos parâmetros entrassem para a lib...

Specifically, it would be great if you (or others) can clarify inside
that ticket what is the exact license of those grid files, provided by IBGE
Thank you again! :)
Wishing you a happy 2020.

Hi Jeff,
I wrote to IBGE agency again, asking about NTV2 grid data license and suggesting a PROJ4 compatible for the grid data, keeping Progrid.exe software license as is.
I think it is possible to use an open licence for data files.
