-PROJ.4 has been placed under an MIT license. I believe this to be as close as
-possible to public domain while satisfying those who say that a copyright
-notice is required in some countries. The COPYING file read as follows:
-
-All source, data files and other contents of the PROJ.4 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. I am placing everything under the
-following MIT style license because I believe it is effectively the same as
-public domain, allowing anyone to use the code as they wish, including making
-proprietary derivatives.
-
-Though I have put my own name as copyright holder, I don't mean to imply I did
-the work. Essentially all work was done by Gerald Evenden.
