Hi all, The Dutch Kadaster has recently publish their official datum correction grid to better support to transformation between the RD and RD/NAP projections and ETRS89. It was discussed on the Dutch OSGeo mailinglist in the thread starting at:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/dutch/2014-October/000975.html Unfortunately the license for the NTv2 & VDatum files is problematic, not an uncommon for other national government datum files either. It has similar restrictions as the EPSG dataset, only allowing modification of correction values to a certain extent for instance. The license further requires that the correct implementation of the grid corrections are tested. The issues around this datum grid are documented in the README.Debian for the package I've created: http://git.linuxminded.nl/?p=pkg-grass/proj-rdnap;a=blob;f=debian/README.Debian;h=4efae0126edf08fd02daaa0f3bb1e3ceb571f928;hb=HEAD I'd like to upload this proj-rdnap package to non-free so users don't need to get it from a 3rd party repository, or jump through the registration hoops to install it manually. But I'd like to hear your opinion about packaging non-free datumgrids for PROJ.4 first. Maybe the non-free restrictions are sufficient to not even have the git repository on Alioth, or other reasons to not consider uploading to non-free?
