Morning Team:

I have run into an odd wrinkle, and have been asked to submit a distinct CQ for the EPSG dataset. While the terms of use are clear, and commercial friendly, it is a data set (a register of identifiers to definitions) and thus does not smoothly line up with any open source license.

I kind of view it as similar to Metric or Imperial units of measures. And am having a hard time communicating its value, and why we are stuck distributing it.

If I can ask for a review of CQ7581 and any additional comments as I am drawing a blank.

Jody
