   The lack of automated tests does not mean that this library is untested. It's quite the opposite, actually: This library is well-tested. Nevertheless, adding a suite of automated tests would be a reasonable enhancement. Thanks for your

   Of course, you're right, thanks! This has been noted down as one of the next steps that are required.

   Thanks! Tracking historical changes is a great idea, but this requires perfect data from day one, doesn't it? Otherwise, how will you differentiate between historic changes and mere factual/technical corrections? Thus, right now

   Thanks for reminding us of the importance of efficient updates! As outlined in "SOURCE.md", one part of the update process should be to continuously compare to the latest Natural Earth data. Apart from that, we're totally ope

    Admittedly, it's similar! But we wanted to include more data, other data, and just offer an alternative in general. Three things we definitely wanted were (1) complete boundaries, (2) easiest programmatic access and (3) efficient col

    We didn't get those from our sources but we'll love to add them!

    Thank you! We know that Apache, MIT, etc. are usually for code and the Creative Commons licenses are for content (e.g. writing, images). We thought that the data sets (CSV, JSON, SQL) are rather in the intersection of code and content, so t

    Thank you! What makes you feel uneasy about the license? We'll love to fix this! Regarding the airport lists, we're definitely open to merging in more complete and accurate data.

    Thank you! We'll love to hear and discuss what's the best way to represent and store the data. We're open to changes between GeoJSON, WKT, etc.

    You're right! Please see the "SOURCE.md" file for all necessary information. Sorry for not linking this file in a prominent place!

    We should definitely fix this in the future! Thank you :)

    Thanks! We'll have to add a link to the README, you're right!

    Exactly! Thanks. Although to some it may be "just Natural Earth", we thought it could be useful. JSON, CSV and SQL should be more helpful than the original shape files when building (web and mobile) applications. We'll love t

    This is definitely a major problem that has to be fixed! Thanks for pointing this out again. The complete build process is described in "SOURCE.md". That's where we got these encoding issues from -- right from the source mate

    They're not OCR errors, unfortunately. Sorry for these problems! We have to investigate!

    Sorry for the inaccuracies! We'd love to fix all those issues -- maybe with some help from the community :) The goal is definitely to turn this into a more and more reliable data source every day.

    That's just miscommunication caused by us, sorry! The "RESOURCES.md" does only contain helpful links and generic resources for working with map/geo data. We thought this could be helpful. The actual source along with t

    Interesting question! You've got the replies already. Just wanted to clarify that this issue does not affect FreeGeoDB.

    Thanks for your comment! The current behaviour is definitely a shortcoming and not intended. Nothing should break the pages by stretching "div" elements. As soon as I know how to fix this, I will definitely do this. Clean pure-CSS
