<p wrap="">I may be missing the obvious here, but how is
redistributing the (reformatted) EPSG dataset as a sqlite
database different from the current situation where we
redistribute the same information reformatted as a text file?

<p>I'm not a lawyer, but I think that the current situation does not
comply with EPSG terms of use. Just reformatting a dataset in
another format is <i>"derivative work"</i> - it does not free us
from the copyrights that apply on the original work. Taking a
subset and reformatting is allowed by §6v, but only<i>"provided
that numeric equivalence is achieved"</i> (§6vi). This later
condition is broken by changes in axis order and units of
measurement. Other conditions that we need to comply to are §6iv (<i>"Ownership
of the EPSG Dataset by IOGP must be acknowledged in any
publication or transmission"</i>) and §6i (<i>"You are obliged
to inform anyone to whom you provide the EPSG Facilities of
these Terms of Use."</i>).</p>
