+Debian Proj upstream source notes
+---------------------------------
+
+The Debian Proj package comes with both proj4 upstream and additional
+datum grids (http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-datumgrid-1.4.zip at
+the time of this file) in a single package. A note about datum grids you can
+find in nad/ directory and datumshifts.shar archive is mandatory.
+All those data are public domain, taken and collected from various
+US/Canada, France and New Zealand public domain resources.
+
+Most of them are available in ASCII form, and some use a NTv2 binary 
+format. The NTv2 format is a documented format used by some tools freely
+available by various sources: some of them are binary-only, other
+are available in source form. As references about data origins consider
+the following:

+Australia: http://www.icsm.gov.au/icsm/gda/gdatm/index.html
+France: http://www.stjohnspoint.co.uk/gis/france.htm
+Canada: http://www.geod.nrcan.gc.ca/tools-outils/ntv2_e.php
+Germany: http://crs.bkg.bund.de/crseu/crs/descrtrans/BeTA/de_dhdn2etrs_beta.php
