Description : General Cartographic Transformation Package Library
The General Cartographic Transformation Package (GCTP) is a system of
software routines designed to permit the transformation of coordinate
pairs from one map projection to another. The GCTP is the standard
computer software used by the National Mapping Division for map
projection computations.
This library is used by hdf-eos4 and hdf-eos5, which have ITP's assigned,
as well as libproj internally.
The upstream author claified the license situation:
The GCTP was originally developed by USGS. For EOS (funded by NASA) we took it and added a few more projections to be used by HDF-EOS. Any one
can use it or modify it (both commercial and non-comercial) as long as it is acknowledged. If you want to use it please use the latest versions ( see download
at http://newsroom.gsfc.nasa.gov/sdptoolkit/toolkit.html ). The source code is packaged with hdfeos and hdfeos5.
