[QGIS-Developer] Fwd: [PROJ] Interested in helping for inclusion of grids for Spain, Austria, Slovakia, Brazil ?

[Nyall Dawson]

Forwarding a request for assistance from the PROJ mailing list -- this
is a great opportunity for our Spanish, Catalan, Austrian, Slovakian
and Brazilian communities to contribute (amongst others!)

Hi,

I'm requesting help from good wills of the community to help us grow
our datasets of grids at
https://github.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid/
Below a few candidates I've identified, mentionned in EPSG and with a
number of them with
download links, but license clarification would be needed.

Community members from those countries are probably in a better
position than me to
connect with the relevant authority and see if they'd be willing to
adopt one of the licenses
mentionned at https://github.com/OSGeo/proj-datumgrid#about-the-datum-grid-package

Spain
-----

* Peninsula and Baleares:

Anyone from the Spanish community to help clarifying license of
https://www.fomento.gob.es/recursos_mfom/gridshift1.zip (ED50 to ETRS89),
presumably whith IGN Spain

The download link is accessible from
https://www.fomento.gob.es/organos-colegiados/consejo-superior-geografico/csg/etrs89/etrs89-nuevo-sistema-de-referencia-geodesico-oficial-en-espana

This file has a sort of CC license
(https://gist.github.com/rouault/1ff4ad2d8053e068f9dbf451572692f4) but with a
annoying non-modification clause that makes it incompatible with our
requirements
(we might want to transform it to another format like GeoTIFF),
and no version/link to the actual CC license.

* Catalonia:

Grid specific to Catalonia for ED50 to ETRS89 : 100800401.gsb
File found in http://www.icgc.cat/content/download/48766/337962/version/1/file/Malla_NTv2_11_03.zip
but no explicit license mention.
https://www.icgc.cat/en/Web/Help/Legal-notice has a vague mention of
Creative Commons,
but no precise identification of which variant of it, and which version.

Austria
-------

The AT_GIS_GRID.gsb grid for MGI to ETRS89 is available at
http://www.bev.gv.at/portal/page?_pageid=713,2157075&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
:

http://www.bev.gv.at/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/BEV_PORTAL_CONTENT_ALLGEMEIN/0200_PRODUKTE/UNENTGELTLICHE_PRODUKTE_DES_BEV/GIS-Grid.zip

Copyright info I could find is
"Hinsichtlich seiner Datenbanken verfügt das BEV über das ausschließliche
Werknutzungsrecht gemäß §§ 40f bis 40h UrhG und das sui generis-Recht
gemäß §§ 76c bis 76e UrhG."

which by itself is not super promising.

Slovakia
--------

https://www.geoportal.sk/en/geodeticke-zaklady/download/ offers for
download 3 grids
referenced by EPSG:
Slovakia_ETRS89h_to_Baltic1957.gtx
Slovakia_ETRS89h_to_EVRF2007.gtx
Slovakia_JTSK03_to_JTSK.LAS / .LOS

I've emailed the contact mentionned on the site to get info regarding
the license.
But wouldn't hurt to get feedback of knowledgeable people too.

Brazil
------

Looking for official download links & license for the following:

Corrego Alegre 1961 to SIRGAS 2000: CA61_003.gsb
Corrego Alegre 1970-72 to SIRGAS 2000: CA7072_003.gsb
SAD69 to SIRGAS 2000: SAD69_003.gsb
SAD69(96) to SIRGAS 2000: SAD96_003.gsb

https://www.killetsoft.de/p_gdln_e.htm has download links but official
ones from IBGE
would be preferable if possible.


Of course there are certainly gaps to fill for other countries I've
not mentionned...
