From nick at nickbearman.com Thu Mar 19 09:02:19 2026 From: nick at nickbearman.com (Nick Bearman) Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:02:19 +0000 Subject: [Incubator] motion: qfield recommendation for osgeo community project initiative In-Reply-To: <2611efb4-8bdf-41a4-8490-c4af8503a0f5@gmail.com> References: <2611efb4-8bdf-41a4-8490-c4af8503a0f5@gmail.com> Message-ID: <1cb5aba5-0bb5-4b27-9ec7-b0d2eae53bc7@nickbearman.com> All of the links and details are still valid. From 9th May 2023 https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2023-May/004656.html This motion did not pass in the allocated time. I would like to ask another volunteer to review. We had one question come up during voting on license compatibility that is interesting but may not be suitable for public discussion. Jody The licensing question was: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2023-April/004648.html I don't get to vote, but I have had a question about qfield for a long time that I have never seen an answer for. I am 99% sure I have asked about it on one of the qgis lists in the past. The license for qgis is GPL2, and qfield has the same license. qfield appears to contain qgis code. That's all fine. The android app is distributed under GPL2 presumably, but I don't see that mentioned in the google play store. That's a minor issue and easily fixed, assuming that there aren't proprietary android libraries (e.g. Google Play services) bundled in. The iOS app is presumably also GPL2, but as I understand it, that's not allowed in the apple app store, and the Apple app store's terms prohibit redistribution of the app one obtains, which is incompatible with GPL2. Often software that was Free before it goes into the Apple app store has a special license from the copyright holders to be able to be distributed under the non-Free license required by Apple. But with code from qgis -- since it has no such exception -- I don't understand how this is working. Thus, I don't understand the licensing situation. My specific questions: Is the license for qfield straight GPL2, as the repo indicates, or something else? Does qfield contain qgis code, such that it's a derived work? If so, is qgis straight GPL2? Is the Android binary under GPL2, with only Free software as sources? Is the iOS binary on gitub under GPL2, with only Free software as sources? How is the iOS binary being distributed in the Apple app store? Thanks, Greg I don't know the details of the licensing question, or whether this is still valid. Therefore I propose to make a motion to accept QField as an OSGeo Community Project The motion is held open for two weeks until Thursday 2 April and requires at least 50% quorum from the following Committee Members: |- Angelos Tzotsos - Arnulf Christl - Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques - Brian M Hamlin - Daniel Morissette - Dimitris Kotzinos - Frank Warmerdam - Jo Cook - Jody Garnett - Michael Smith - Nick Bearman +1 - Regina Obe - Steve Lime - Tom Kralidis | I am happy with this, and am starting with a +1 Thanks Nick.

I would like to ask another volunteer to review. We had one question come up during voting on license compatibility that is interesting but may not be suitable for public discussion. Jody The licensing question was: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2023-April/004648.html I don't get to vote, but I have had a question about qfield for a long time that I have never seen an answer for. I am 99% sure I have asked about it on one of the qgis lists in the past. The license for qgis is GPL2, and qfield has the same license. qfield appears to contain qgis code. That's all fine. The android app is distributed under GPL2 presumably, but I don't see that mentioned in the google play store. That's a minor issue and easily fixed, assuming that there aren't proprietary android libraries (e.g. Google Play services) bundled in. The iOS app is presumably also GPL2, but as I understand it, that's not allowed in the apple app store, and the Apple app store's terms prohibit redistribution of the app one obtains, which is incompatible with GPL2. Often software that was Free before it goes into the Apple app store has a special license from the copyright holders to be able to be distributed under the non-Free license required by Apple. But with code from qgis -- since it has no such exception -- I don't understand how this is working. Thus, I don't understand the licensing situation. My specific questions: Is the license for qfield straight GPL2, as the repo indicates, or something else? Does qfield contain qgis code, such that it's a derived work? If so, is qgis straight GPL2? Is the Android binary under GPL2, with only Free software as sources? Is the iOS binary on gitub under GPL2, with only Free software as sources? How is the iOS binary being distributed in the Apple app store? Thanks, Greg I don't know the details of the licensing question, or whether this is still valid. Therefore I propose to make a motion to accept QField as an OSGeo Community Project The motion is held open for two weeks until Thursday 2 April and requires at least 50% quorum from the following Committee Members: - Angelos Tzotsos - Arnulf Christl - Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques - Brian M Hamlin - Daniel Morissette - Dimitris Kotzinos - Frank Warmerdam - Jo Cook - Jody Garnett - Michael Smith - Nick Bearman +1 - Regina Obe - Steve Lime - Tom Kralidis I am happy with this, and am starting with a +1 Thanks Nick.
