<div dir="ltr">One small clarification, the "geodatabase to be published by free and open source tools".
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can we avoid the words geodatabase, although it is a descriptive name - it is also the name of a proprietary file format. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>OSGeo may also wish to revise the above to be limited to "open-source" tools - we are an advocate for software libre after all (Just being free is not enough).</div>
