Hi,

I'm translating the Tips, this sentence caught my eye :

"The GPL places a restriction that any modifications you make must be made available to the Quantum GIS project"

This is misleading, you only have to share your modification if you distribute the binaries to somebody else. And even then you only have to give access to the source code to the receivers, you don't have to send your changes directly to the project.

For example if an geographic institute called *** made a client based on QGIS supporting its in-house DRM access protocol, it would only have to make the code available when distributing this version outside of the institute.

Regards,
Jean Roc
