[Qgis-psc] Proposal that QGIS.ORG will become a member of the OpenDesign Alliance

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Thank you Jürgen.

If it would be limited to OGR feature styling, than it is not good 
enough for our project. That would be a problem.

We would probably also have to enable curve support in the OGR DWG 
driver, that uses Teigha.

The other problem with GDAL/OGR: as far as I know, GDAL/OGR doesn't have 
a legal entity. It would have to be OSGEO then - which would be several 
times more expensive than if QGIS.ORG would be a member, if OSGEO wants 
to make it available for all OSGEO projects.
