Hope this is not too OT but Mapbox, a huge GIS resource as well as open source provider, has entered an amicus brief opposing the immigration ban executive order: https://twitter.com/Mapbox/status/828494749770215425
Below is the email that mapbox sent. I found this interesting: We also added language to our Terms of Service that explicitly prohibit governments or their agents from using our services to target anyone on the basis of their race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. Given Mapbox's importance, this could hurt Trump. -- Owen Last night Mapbox joined an amicus brief opposing the immigration ban executive order <http://email.mapbox.com/e/c/eyJlbWFpbF9pZCI6Ik5Ea3pPVG9WU1FKa0FBSnpBQmNCWkdRYUFVZ1BpYWxSRlZJWVdKakcwUUZ0T2pRMU1UZzNOZ0E9IiwicG9zaXRpb24iOjEsImhyZWYiOiJodHRwczovL3R3aXR0ZXIuY29tL01hcGJveC9zdGF0dXMvODI4NDk0NzQ5NzcwMjE1NDI1Lz91dG1fc291cmNlPXVwZGF0ZS1mZWImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1hbWljdXMtYnJpZWYtdHdlZXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPWFtaWN1cy1icmllZi10d2VldCIsImxpbmtfaWQiOjMyNzQzNzAwfQ/8ea7a442b6036734e1f58b38bdc47f73e1ab8c23d38409b541235f22fac21002> in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, uniting in solidarity with some of the most amazing companies in America.
