Hi Solange, QGIS has a 'Project Steering Committee' (PSC) which you can reach on [email protected]
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not aware anywhere where we stated that maps created with QGIS are CC-SA... I would write a full email with maybe the images attached, and your official request (without the XXX :-) ), and then one of the PSC members will probably just reply with 'yep'... Or... (as I'm not a lawyer) I totally miss something because you are using restricted DATA or so....
