that transforms geospatial +coordinates from one coordinate reference system (CRS) to another. This +includes cartographic projections as well as geodetic transformations. PROJ +is released under the <a class="reference internal" href="#license"><span class="std std-ref">X/MIT open source license</span></a></p> +<p>PROJ includes <a class="reference internal" href="apps/index.html#apps"><span class="std std-ref">command line applications</span></a> for easy conversion of +coordinates from text files or directly from user input. In addition to the +command line utilities PROJ also exposes an +<a class="reference internal" href="development/reference/index.html#reference"><span class="std std-ref">application programming interface</span></a>, or API in short. The API +lets developers use the functionality of PROJ in their own software without having +to implement similar functionality themselves.</p> +<p>PROJ started purely as a cartography application letting users convert geodetic +coordinates into projected coordinates using a number of different cartographic +projections. Over the years, as the need has become apparent, support for datum +shifts has slowly worked its way into PROJ as well. Today PROJ supports more +than a hundred different map projections and can transform coordinates between +datums using all but the most obscure geodetic techniques.</p> +<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="_images/OSGeo_project.png"><img alt="OSGeo Project" src="_images/OSGeo_project.png" style="width: 177.9px; height: 68.39999999999999px;" /></a> +<section id="citation"> +<h2>Citation<a class="headerlink" href="#citation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> +<p>To cite PROJ in publications use:</p> +<blockquote> +<div><p>PROJ contributors (2020).

The software was initially released by the USGS in +the public domain. When Frank Warmerdam took over the development of PROJ it +was moved under the MIT license. The full text of the license follows, and can +also be found in the file <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">COPYING</span></code>, at the top level of the source +distribution package.</p> +<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span> +All source, data files and other contents of the PROJ package are +available under the following terms. Note that the PROJ 4.3 and earlier +was "public domain" as is common with US government work, but apparently +this is not a well defined legal term in many countries. Frank Warmerdam placed +everything under the following MIT style license because he believed it is +effectively the same as public domain, allowing anyone to use the code as +they wish, including making proprietary derivatives. + +Initial PROJ 4.3 public domain code was put as Frank Warmerdam as copyright +holder, but he didn't mean to imply he did the work.
