Hello,

A number of files is currenlty excluded from distribution by debian
because their license is unclear:
* gdal/data/cubewerx_extra.wkt: derived from definitions distributed
by Cubewerx, rights unclear. See
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2165
* gdal/data/ecw_cs.dat: Derived via much processing from ERMapper GDT
definitions, rights unclear.  See
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2162
* gdal/data/esri_extra.wkt: Derived with some processing from
projections definitions in ArcGIS, rights unclear. See
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2163

Has anyone contacted these projects to get some sort of license
clearence? Is there another possibility to get files for these
projections  which do have a valid copyright/license?

Johan
