page 9, metadata category "applicability", metadata property
"spatial coverage" and page 28, section 4.5.2:
-> The description "geographic region in which software can be used"
would in the FOSS context IMO require an additional explanation at
least, since it's part of the definition of FOSS that the software can
be used anywhere.

proposed resolution: "spatial characteristics of the software - if any."

For example, the following eID IDP solution only is relevant for Belgian residents: BE eID IDP Integration for Drupal: http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/software/beid-idp-drupal/description , as other users will not have a Belgian eID card. So it can only be meaningfully used by end-users who are resident in Belgium.

How about "specific geographic relevance of the software - if any" ?
