[Qgis-user] QGIS in the commercial world

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Michael,

Yes, I interpret it is the nr of employees using (Q)GIS on a regular 
basis within an organization. And it is based on self-declaration and 
there is no control about the numbers whatsoever.

We have quite a nr of municipalities that support us on the "small" 
level as sustaining member.

All is based on a voluntary contribution anyway and you are not required 
to be a member in order to use QGIS.

Greetings,

Andreas
