[Qgis-psc] How to publish QGIS map under the CC BY 4.0 license

[Solange Rigaud]

Dear QGIS community

I have submitted an article to the journal PlosOne that includes two maps
of my data made with QGIS.



Here is the message from the PlosOne staff



Thank you for clarifying the sources of Figures. Unfortunately, maps
produced using QGIS are copyrighted under the CC SA license, regardless of
the data, basemap, or map tile sources. PLOS ONE cannot publish CC SA
licensed material as we utilize the less restrictive CC BY 4.0 license.
Under this license, all material is freely available online, and any third
party is permitted to access, download, copy, distribute, and use these
materials in any way, even commercially.

At this time, kindly seek permission from QGIS to publish figure 2 and
Supplementary Figure A under the CC BY 4.0 license. We recommend that you
contact QGIS with the following text:

“I request permission for the open-access journal PLOS ONE to publish the
figure 2 and Supplementary Figure A under the Creative Commons Attribution
License (CCAL) CC BY 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
Please be aware that this license allows unrestricted use and distribution,
even commercially, by third parties. Please reply and provide explicit
written permission to publish XXX under a CC BY license.”

Please upload the granted permission to the manuscript as a supporting
information file. In the figure caption of the copyrighted figure, please
include the following text: “Reprinted from [ref] under a CC BY license,
with permission from [name of publisher], original copyright [original
copyright year].”



Who can help me to get the permission? And I really do not know what
information to add in that figure caption: Reprinted from [ref] under a CC
BY license, with permission from [name of publisher], original copyright
[original copyright year].”



All the data on the maps were collected by me.



Thank you for your help

Solange
