> The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (https://grass.osgeo.org/),
> commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is an Open Source Geographic Information
> System providing powerful raster, vector and geospatial processing
> capabilities in a single integrated software suite. GRASS GIS includes
> tools for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data,
> management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite
> and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce
> sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been
> translated into about twenty languages and supports a huge array of data
> formats. It can be used either as a stand-alone application or as backend
> for other software packages such as QGIS and R geostatistics. It is
> distributed freely under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
