A brief scan of the the info on the JPL ephemeris files it looks like direct access from the resource file system may not be the best place since the data can only be accessed from Fortan functions and they will not be able to read the QFile device necessary to access the Qt resource file system. OTOH the resource file system is a handy place to distribute binary files as they can be copied to the file system at application startup where the user writeable file locations are established, this is not necessarily a known location at install time especially on non-Windows systems.
I should also say that we don't currently install anything to a read-only data directory but such a place does exist on all platforms and we can have the CMake build/install/package make use of it. It would be somewhere system wide on *nix systems like /usr/share/WSJT-X/... we do have something similar for the user guide so it's not a big change.
