And this would only apply to those who want to be part of the certification programme. Could you elaborate a bit on why you think it is not a nice thing to do?

Well, from my view... I think North Road already gives above and
beyond to the QGIS community, and having *some* way to differentiate
our courses and make some money is fair enough...

I do agree that organisations which don't contribute *anything* back
to QGIS could possibly have this restriction placed on them.
