[Qgis-user] QGIS for safe organization use.

[Randal Hale]

Greetings from the South of Canada.


So I'm a user and not a programmer by any stretch. The open source 
license for QGIS covers the Software. Your data is your data and no one 
else's unless you physically share it. It's not any less safe than 
Arcpro. The data it builds is compatible with ESRI products (it can 
build and edit ESRI file Based Geodatabases (which I'm guessing may be a 
requirement)). It's my daily driver....well - my only driver for Desktop 
GIS (I say that and PostGIS will make you feel things deep down in your 
soul).


Anyway - I know that's a short answer but - Enjoy your QGIS'ing. Make 
Data. Enjoy.


Randy
