Hey Paolo,<div><br></div><div>Is it still possible to remove the sub licence term and just use "Permission to Use" I still think the sub licence thing is going to cause issue and people will find it confusing, even more so if there is a fee to use it on a service.</div><div><br></div><div>There are still some things I think we need to clarify:</div><div><br></div><div> - A QGIS logo on a website linking to <a href="http://qgis.org">qgis.org</a> or any of our domains, or github. </div><div><br></div><div>IMO we shouldn't require anyone to ask for permission to do this, and we should make that clear.</div><div><br></div><div>- Does stuff like training material, or training services, require Permission to Use?</div><div><br></div><div>I think for me the main thing is not making it hard or confusing for people to spread the QGIS word (now I sound like a preacher). </div><div><br></div><div>- Nathan</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu Oct 30 2014 at 3:45:36 AM Paolo Cavallini <<a href="mailto:cavallini@faunalia.it">cavallini@faunalia.it</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all.<br>
I've spent some time thinking about the issue; please find herewith attached my<br>
proposal for replacing the current page [0]. Thanks to everybody for their thoughts.<br>
<br>
Some notes:<br>
* for QGIS-branded products, we might grant a written permission after asking advice<br>
from a lawyer, and write a formal agreement; expenses should be covered entirely by<br>
the applicant; alternatively, we may write what we believe is reasonable<br>
* we still have an open suggestion to ask for some fees (besides covering the costs,<br>
see above) from those requesting permission; I do not have a strong opinion on this,<br>
but I think it may be an interesting possibility.<br>
* I did not mention in the page the case of non profit organizations using QGIS name<br>
and logo in their names; I think this is a grey area; perhaps it would not be bad if<br>
they ask us, so to encourage more direct contacts with PSC. This would make it easier<br>
further communication.<br>
<br>
Comments welcome. I agree the current page may be sacry, so I'd like to replace with<br>
a better one (the attached one or other) ASAP.<br>
