Red Hat Legal confirms that the current EPSG license (as found on their
website) is non-free.

Took me a while to figure out what caused the confusion here, so here's the
explanation.

In 2007, Balint Cristian began a dialog with the maintainers of the EPSG
dataset to change the licensing terms for that dataset to something that would
be Free, and thus, acceptable to Fedora.

A draft license text was passed around, some clarifiying questions were asked,
and at the end of it, we agreed that it was Free (barely).

Unfortunately, this text was never implemented, and the text on the website is
substantially different from the draft text we reviewed.
