This package was debianized by Peter S Galbraith psg@debian.org on Sun, 24 Oct 1999 20:51:36 -0400. This package is not a pristine tar file. It consists of the following files bundled together: ftp://kai.er.usgs.gov/pub/PROJ.4/PROJ.4.3.ps.gz Cartographic Projection Procedures Release 4 ftp://kai.er.usgs.gov/pub/PROJ.4/PROJ.4.3.I2.ps.gz Cartographic Projection Procedures Release 4 Second Interim Report ftp://kai.er.usgs.gov/pub/PROJ.4/OF90-284.ps.gz Cartographic Projection Procedures for the UNIX Environment -- A User's Manual The are no 'sources' to the included PostScript files. The author says: The sources for the PostScript documentation is a bit of a problem. They are a complex assemblage of postscript graphic files and LaTeX scripts and distribution would need another manual in itself along with documentation of ad hoc procedures used to generate the figures and the MAPGEN/PLOTGEN graphics system.

This is free software. Here's what Jerry replied when I asked what the license was: `The software was developed by the USGS and has no copyright nor license. Do with it what you will. :-)' Maintenance of proj has been taken up by Frank Warmerdam under the following license: All source, data files and other contents of the PROJ.4 package are available under the following terms. Note that the PROJ 4.3 and earlier was "public domain" as is common with US government work, but apparently this is not a well defined legal term in many countries. I am placing everything under the following MIT style license because I believe it is effectively the same as public domain, allowing anyone to use the code as they wish, including making proprietary derivatives. Though I have put my own name as copyright holder, I don't mean to imply I did the work. Essentially all work was done by Gerald Evenden. -------------- Copyright (c) 2000, Frank Warmerdam Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
