Re: epsg package

I concur with Joerg's comments.   For primary category, the question
is who's likely to find this looking where, and while this is a
database thing, that's the means, and geography is the end.

The license terms are very clearly not "open source" or "Free", and
thus LICENSE= and having the license is in order.  Set RESTRICTED, and
then I agree that NO_{SRC,BIN}_ON_CDROM is in order, and there's no
issue with a binary package over FTP so NO_{SRC,BIN}_ON_FTP can be
left unset.  (In pkgsrc, CDROM ::= for a fee, and FTP ::= at no cost,
even though that's a bit goofy.)

  I would ask the publisher to amend (1), since strictly speaking
  importing the database into an SQL database would count as modified
  version.

These people are geodesy nerds, not lawyers, and it's clear that
Brook's packaging and normal use of it satisfies their "no
modification intent", which is surely about integrity of the
parameters and OGC's reputation.  I see no need to worry here.
Processing the data on one's machine is not clearly subject to
copyright anyway.

The 2 doc files probably belong in share/doc/epsg instead of
share/epsg.

I see no point in splitting this into mysql and pgsql separate
packages (you didn't ask, but it's an obvious question).
