Another good example of where QGIS.org being able to add a one-liner addendum to our license permitting projects (including the Python code they contain) to be distributed under any license you like would be extremely useful. To carry on the previous analogy, this is equivalent to having a LibreOffice document with macros in it that you want to sell as part of your secret plan to become a millionaire….I don’t think anyone will come and wave a GPL license at you if you do this….
