[Qgis-developer] Possible plugin licensing problems

[Bernhard Ströbl]

As far as I understood the recent plugin licensing discussion on this 
list a plugin importing qgis.core or qgis.gui (or OS-pyQt) needs to be 
licenced compatible to GPL2, so even in a private repository a plugin 
author cannot claim a plugin to be for private use only(?). One could of 
course publish a limited-use plugin under GPL and sell the full blown 
plugin, but as it has to be GPL, too, after some sales it might be 
available for download somewhere.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
