Can QGIS plugins (installable from the plugin list within QGIS Desktop), with citation, also be used for research? In other words, if someone creates a plugin that's added to the repository, does the plugin then fall under all the same usage and copyright rules that QGIS does?<br><br>I realise it's splitting hairs and I'm sure it's alright to use the plugin in research (citing both QGIS and the plugin creator separately), but I was asked to look into plugin use for copyright reasons before creating more figures and submitting a paper. I emailed the plugin developer to ask permission to use the plugin for research purposes. Since I haven't heard back, I thought I'd ask QGIS developers about usage of plugins found in the repository.<br><br></div>This page referred me to the QGIS developer mailing list:<br><a href="http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Citation_Repository" target="_blank">http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/QGIS_Citation_Repository</a><br><br></div><div>Clarification would be much appreciated.
