Great, the next thing to check is if the terms are actually compatible. Enough people are fuzzy on licensing and willing to break the rules because they think app stores are important, that one can't conclude it's ok. For example, QField is in the apple app store, and that prohibits distirbuting the app you receive. That's outright incompatible with the GPL, and QGIS does not have an apple exception. I've raised this issue, but I haven't seen any substantive comments addresssing it. (I think it's good there is no apple exception; the Free Software community shouldn't have to break their own rules to accomodate Apple's choices to be difficult about Free Software.) _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
