      <br>
      The info for OSGB36 NTv2 is in srs.db now.<br>
      <br>
      >Makes me think - could QGIS ship with the freely available gsb
      grids, in an optional package (say qgis-datum-grids)?  It would be
      rather convenient, especially as QGIS now >supports them (but
      does not ship with any grids yet, unless mistaken).<br>
      <br>
      I'm receiving frequent suggestions of bundling .gsb files with
      QGIS. The problems I see with this are:<br>
      - It adds the extra MB for QGIS too.<br>
      - They come with various licences.<br>
      - .gsb files are usefull for all tools working with proj. So a
      logical choice would be to have an optional package for proj4.<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>

                  I'm adding the entries for OSGB36 NTv2 to srs.db.<br>
                  For the .gsb file, you could probably contact the
                  proj4 project if they want it to distribute it
                  togethere with the library (if the license allows
                  that).<br>

            <div>I guess that's unlikely they would add it to the binary
              packages, as it would add a few MB to the base install.
               But they might add it to proj-datumgrid-1.5.zip (which
              contains many free datum files), as the licence for the
              grid is BSD.</div>

                                I'm trying to get my fix for the OSGB36
                                to WGS84 using Ordnance Surveys OSTN02
                                (NTv2) transformation into the QGIS
                                master. Nathan Woodrow recommended I
                                bring it up with you guys who might be
                                able to implement it. <br>
                                <br>
                                Essentially I've updated the QGIS srs.db
                                and put the OSTN02_NTv2.gsb in the
                                Share/Proj folder, full description and
                                files are here: <a

                                <br>
                                <br>
                                Is this something which can be
                                implemented by yourselves or can you
                                point me in the right direction for
                                getting it put in the master/future
                                releases?<br>
