<p>Hi Hamish,</p>
<p>Yes, copyright has to be taken into account for any data sources
you use in your QGIS project.</p>
<p>Esp. base maps. Note, f.e. that you cannot use Google Maps as a
background layer for your new map. The terms of Google Maps
disallow to create any new maps based on their data, if it isn't
using the Google Maps API and keys.</p>
<p>You can use OpenStreetMap as a base map, but they also have a
copyright: you have to mention that you use their data, if you
want to use it.<br>
</p>
<p>And you are not allowed to derive any data from Google Maps base
data.</p>
<p>Text and images, as you say, also have copyright.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>

<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">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>
