<div dir="ltr">Hi Andreas,<div><br></div><div>In terms of opposition to QGIS for iOS, there are 2 issues to address:</div><div>1- Presence of any QGIS derived app on App Store, according to some black and white interpretation of GPL, this might not be allowed. There has been no prior cases, so it is up to the PSC to gauge the risk and come up with a decision. In other similar situations, the issue was resolved by simply, an addendum to the license to exempt the App Store by the project and developers, so long as the derived apps are still compatible with the main license.</div><div><br></div><div>2- QGIS for iOS: we have spent weeks to port QGIS and subsequently Input to iOS platform. There is no restrictions for us and even for QGIS project to acknowledge the fact that QGIS/Input can be installed on iOS platform. The sticking point is App Store and there are other methods of installing apps on iOS platform, but it will be an extra burden on users. There is no way, we are going to throw away our work on the iOS platform and it will be a loss to QGIS project too, IMO.</div><div><br></div><div>In general, I would like to have a pragmatic solution (see Point 1: providing an addendum to the GPL) to address the situation. There is also a wider question for the PSC: to ensure QGIS remains relevant and the licensing terms do not limit the project for future adaptation. For example, with the new developments in Qt and WebAssembly, one can envisage a day when QGIS can be run in a web browser. Is the licensing terms sufficient enough to address future platforms/use-cases?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div>Saber</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, 13 Mar 2020 at 22:41, Andreas Neumann <<a href="mailto:a.neumann@carto.net">a.neumann@carto.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Yes - I could also do the meeting in the afternoon. I work from
home the coming days and I can interrupt my work during some time.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I agree with Marco: it would be useful to have a
dedicated meeting to get the AGM prepared. Could we do the
meeting the coming Tuesday evening at 20:00? Would this
work for everybody? There are quite some extra things on
the AGM to vote on (binary plugins, environmental policy)
- so that will need some work.</p>
Meanwhile, the financial auditing was done by Andreas
Vonlaufen and Andreas Voigt. Both would volunteer to do it
another year. Their auditing document can be found at the
Google drive in Finances/Financial Auditing Reports
<p>I will publish them with the report this weekend
(preliminary, because the AGM has to approve as well).</p>
<p>We'd also need to discuss the IOS thing better. There is
quite some opposition to linking to the iOS version or our
endorsement of any iOS QGIS version. That needs to be
discussed.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback if you could make an ad-hoc
meeting the coming Tuesday evening. Otherwise, please
suggest extra dates. But given that we are not supposed to
travel these days - I assume everyone would be at home
anyway.</p>
<p>Greetings,<br>
Andreas<br>
