<p>Hi,</p>
<p>One of our recent QGIS bronze sponsors (<a href="http://www.geos-hellinge.de/">http://www.geos-hellinge.de/</a>) asks me if he is allowed to bundle the QGIS installer with his own proprietary geodetic software, to allow a good integration of the two systems.</p>
<p>I said that most likely, that this is not possible, but that I will ask the QGIS PSC.</p>
<p>Am I right, that a combined installer of GPL with proprietary software is not possible? But if he provides something like a batch file that first installs the proprietary software and then runs QGIS 2.14 LTR as a separate independent installer, this may be allowed - is this correct?</p>
<p>Here is the original question in german language: "Ich habe noch eine Frage zur Installation von QGIS: Ich würde gerne eine QGIS-Installation zusammen mit unserem vermessungstechnischen Programmsystem KAVDI in einem Setup für unsere Kunden bereitstellen. Das hätte den Vorteil, dass das Zusammenspiel zwischen KAVDI und QGIS "Out of the box" funktioniert.<br /> Ist das lizenztechnisch erlaubt ?"</p>
<p>Thanks for a clarification,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
