Dear Sir/Madam,</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

My name is Enrique Arias and I am a full professor at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

In the context of a research project we are developing, from the university, an application that makes use of some QGIS tools.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

More specifically, we provide a QGIS server with inputs and QGIS returns an output that we use in our application.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

It is not clear to us that, under the GPL, we cannot register ownership of our application since at no point do we add, remove or modify the QGIS source code.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

Nor is QGIS packaged, i.e. not embedded, in the application code. We simply make use of it through an http call to a server.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">

We would like to know if the GPL licence allows this and if not, where it is indicated that it is not allowed. We have already consulted the university services and they have not been able to give us an answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); margin: 0px; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">
