[Qgis-user] QGIS in the commercial world

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi Iain,
let me add: this is not only an ethical choice, but a very practical
one: the support you can give us will translate into very real
improvements (especially bugfixing), so that you'll enjoy a better QGIS
in the near future.
All the best.
