There is a (common) problem with that text and your reply that is increasingly giving my headaches when thinking how to advertise QGIS among colleagues: Quote (from the URL above): "unlike the commercial GIS offerings" This suggests that QGIS is a non-commercial project. But a few lines further down we read: "either organisations who offer commercial QGIS support" "if you hire a core QGIS developer to make your changes" These are clearly commercial offerings/activities, and people are being advised to make use of them. To be clear: I don't think there is anything wrong with that. But I think that it is misleading to present QGIS as "non-commercial". It is open source and non-proprietary, in the sense that no single individual or institution owns the rights to it. But commerce is clearly part of QGIS now. As I see it, there are two "honest" options: (1) Stop calling QGIS non-commercial and keep advising people to hire developers for fixing bugs and implementing features. (2) Keep calling QGIS a non-commercial project and stop advising people to hire developers to fix bugs or develop features for them.
