[Qgis-psc] QGIS.ORG activity concept

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi all, 

In our activity concept document I added a paragraph at the bottom
clarifying our relationship with commercial support companies. I thought
it would be benefitial and useful for the tax authorities to understand
our situation. 

Could you please have a look at this new section at the bottom of our
document and comment specifically on this new section? 

Thanks,
Andreas

In the first paragraph there is a statement "under the terms of this license, everyone is free to download and use, distribute and modify the QGIS software, no matter of where he lives or what the software is used for". After your feedback I added the word "download" as well.
