Re: [Qgis-user] The license agreement of QGIS
Yes, all free! Use as much QGIS as you like! However, if you are happy QGIS users and your organization is relying on the software, consider becoming a sustaining member. That way you can support the project, software development, bug fixing, upgrades and so on. More info over here: https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html#sustaining-membership No necessity, but very much appreciated! Kind regards and enjoy using QGIS, Raymond On 08-12-2022 04:28, Brent Wood via QGIS-User wrote: The full licence is described here: https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/user_manual/appendices/GNU_GPL.html <https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/user_manual/appendices/GNU_GPL.html> Essentially it means you can install and use QGIS anywhere you want for whatever the cost of downloading it might be (usually free).
