<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear all,
I have used QGIS to create maps for a paper that I am going to submit to
an academic journal. However, the journal requires that all figures should
be under cc-by 4.0 license, while on the QGIS website, it is stated that
"If not stated otherwise, all content is licensed under Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license (CC BY-SA)". Does that mean I cannot use
maps created by QGIS for this journal or any other open-source journal that
require the same license?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
Are you including any QGIS website content? Specifically media or text?
If not then you have no worries at that end (using QGIS to make output
doesn't count; using material like images, data, text, videos from the QGIS
site would probably count).

I am new here so I am not quite sure if that's the right way to ask
questions regarding QGIS. If it is inappropriate, please ignore my email.
Or, does anyone know how can I contact the QGIS team directly?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">
In my opinion, for whatever that's worth, this is a good place to ask this
kind of question.</pre>

<p>The QGIS Team is everywhere :) you were spot on on asking here,
thanks everyone for the nice answers!</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
