[Qgis-user] QGIS for commercial usage

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

A slight modification -

QGIS is licensed under the GPL license. That means, that all derived 
works of QGIS has to have the same GPL license. This includes QGIS 
plugins made by yourself.

There is nothing that stops you from developing _and_ selling a QGIS 
plugin as long you adhere to the GPL license.

The GPL license essentially states, that if you deliver (sell or give 
away) som kind of GPL licensed software the source code _has to_ be 
included. And the recipient has the _right_ to modify the software , 
give or sell it to a third party without any kind of compensation to the 
original developer. But the derived piece of software has to retain the 
GPL license so the third party has the same rights as the second party 
(This sounds like a line from a Marx Brothers movie ;-)
