<p>Hi Hamish,</p>
<p>Your assumptions are right. As the map author, when you are
creating new maps in QGIS, you are the copyright owner of your
map.<br>
</p>
<p>However, as Paolo pointed out, if you load data from various
sources, you'd have to first check the copyright conditions of the
data you use to create your maps.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>

<div dir="auto">Good morning,</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>

<div dir="auto">I am an historian looking to bring to life a work
for publication illustrated by annotated physical and cultural
maps inspired by examples seen from QGIS training videos. As a
stumbling beginner I have already invested many hours trying to
master the basics. However, before I invest many more hours and
finessing maps I need to know urgently if I will have to pay
copyright permission to use my maps in a publication. Am I being
naive in thinking maps created become my own property and
copyright just applies if I attempted to develop software using
elements found through QGIS? The latter is my impression
scrolling through terms and conditions. I.e maps produced are
free and become my copyright in a publication?</div>
