Good idea. This version - because the italian part is white, would even<br>
leave some space for the QGIS logo ;-)<br>
<br>
Who will design the splash screen?<br>
<br>
Should I go ahead and ask Swisstopo for permission? I think that even<br>
for the Dufour or Siegfried maps we should ask for permission. Even if<br>
the copyright has expired.<br>
