Specifically, the changes we would want are: * Clarification or removal around the restrictions for including the EPSG dataset in a commercial offering. Would an image which contained only a trivial program (helloworld.c) and the EPSG dataset be permitted to be sold? If the answer is no, then it is a commercial use restriction. (For what it is worth, I'm always baffled when people put commercial use restrictions on code or content that is available at no cost over the internet, especially when there is no hoops to jump through to acquire it. If someone is silly enough to pay for it, why would you wish to prevent that?) * Clarification around modification. Specifically, wording that indicates that modification is always permitted, but that modifications outside of their defined scope will require that the dataset be renamed to something which does not use the EPSG trademarks.
