[GRASS-dev] Fwd: [Proj] EPSG 8.2 Upgrade

[Volker Fröhlich]

This might be a good moment to re-vamp the legal issue regarding the
EPSG license that was raised in Fedora and is blocking the upgrade of
libgeotiff:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621416

They didn't respond to my query. Maybe somebody else wants to give it
another try.

Greetings,
