[Qgis-user] QGIS in the commercial world

[Anita Graser]

Dear Iain,

Yes, QGIS has an entity: QGIS.ORG is the worldwide association of QGIS
users and developers. QGIS.ORG is constituted as a Swiss ‘association’
(https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/charter.html) but it is
not a registered charity.

To help support QGIS, organizations are invited to become sustaining
members of QGIS.ORG. The details of our sustaining membership program
are described in:
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/governance/sustaining_members/sustaining_members.html

You can also see who's already supporting QGIS:

Regards,

Anita
