Hi If I am not mistaken, the world map comes from Nathan Woodrow (he added it for the projection selector widget):
[timlinux@sandstone ~/dev/cpp/QGIS/resources/data (master)]$ git log world_map.shp commit cf241f51ae2ae4ae225c9af65690aa2a5524df04 Author: Nathan Woodrow <[email protected]> Date: Mon Oct 16 10:40:05 2017 +1000 [FEATURE][needs-docs] Show projection bounds in projection widget (#5356) - Script to pull bounds from EPSG.org Postgres dump - Add resources/data/world_map.shp for reference - Show canvas bounds for reference I’m guessing it comes from Natural Earth, but he would need to confirm. Nathan can you add a license for that file?
