An example: it should be possible to provide QGIS as a
service via a<br>
remote desktop like cloud platform and change whatever you
want without<br>
being forced to publish the source code with the current
license (Note:<br>
I'm not a lawyer). At the same time it's really hard to
distribute QGIS<br>
based public code to Apple tablets with the current license
(Note: I'm<br>
not a lawyer). Personally I'd prefer things to be vice
versa.<br>

<p>Thanks Alessandro, that's exactly the point I wanted to make
(without mentioning an alternative).</p>
<p>With the GPL which is in place right now to my knowledge it's
possible to provide QAAS without sharing the code. Sorry that it
was possible to misread the sentence in the complete opposite way.</p>
