[QGIS-Developer] Fwd: QGIS Trademark in

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi Tim,
I agree, the current site gives clearly the impression that the are
officila representative for QGIS in Chile.
I think they should have a first sentence about the services they
provide for QGIS, making it clear they are a commercial company not
connected to QGIS.ORG.
Cheers.
