[QGIS-Developer] QGIS projects - can they be licensed and/or copyrighted ?

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

Thanks to Raymond, Evan and Andreas for the fast answers..

  * A QGIS project is*content *and not code, therefore it is not under
    the GPL regime and can be copyrighted/licensed differently from GPL.

  * As an open source developer and  a user of PostgreSQL/PostGIS for
    many years, I'm 100% aware how GPL works regarding content and code:
    created content using a GPL program is *not* under GPL, derivative
    works of code is. (So Andreas, don't worry, be happy ;-).

It was simply how to regard QGIS projects: It is content or is it code ?

A very small nibble: What about python code embedded in the project ?
