Hi Solange,
I think there might be a misunderstanding.
QGIS is just a tool. QGIS is not the data owner. And certainly QGIS does
not want to restrict what can be done with maps, graphics or products
created with QGIS.
How does PlosOne come to the assumption that "maps produced using QGIS
are copyrighted under the CC SA license, regardless of the data,
basemap, or map tile sources."? - I don't think that this is a correct
statement.

Hello QGIS community
I have submitted an article to the journal PlosOne that includes an
interpolation map of my data made with QGIS.
Here is the message from the PlosOne staff
Thank you for clarifying the sources of Figures. Unfortunately, maps
produced using QGIS are copyrighted under the CC SA license,
regardless of the data, basemap, or map tile sources. PLOS ONE cannot
publish CC SA licensed material as we utilize the less restrictive CC
BY 4.0 license. Under this license, all material is freely available
online, and any third party is permitted to access, download, copy,
distribute, and use these materials in any way, even commercially.
At this time, kindly seek permission from QGIS to publish figure
Supplementary Figure A under the CC BY 4.0 license. We recommend that
you contact QGIS with the following text:

Please upload the granted permission to the manuscript as a supporting
information file. In the figure caption of the copyrighted figure,
please include the following text: “Reprinted from [ref] under a CC BY

[original copyright year].”
Who can help me to get the permission?
Thank you for your help
