QGIS Is And Will Remain Free Open Source Software
Submitted by Gary Sherman on Fri, 2009-04-17 02:37.
My previous post appears to have caused confusion for some. Be assured that the post was an April Fools joke.
QGIS is Free and Open Source Software and will remain so. There have been no changes to the project management, license, or philosophy. The development team is hard at work and preparing for a new release in the near future.
I apologize for any concern this may have caused in the community. Obviously my humor didn't translate well to all corners of the user base.
My previous QGIS April Fools joke a few years back was that we were porting the code from C++ to Java. Nobody believed that one...

QGIS is awesome...
I think QGIS is awesome. Whenever I have a client that needs GIS functionality for a school project, etc. I always recommend QGIS. Please keep it Open Source.

Merging with gvSIG?
QGIS in Java?
Does it mean gvSIG is looking for a project to invest in some of their enormously nice nice budget, ha? ;-)
Mateusz
QGis to java?
Ahhhh, so it wasn't JGrass then :)
Honestly, I felt a bit shocked by the responses to your last post (even some I felt to be stupid and offensive).
But yeah, April fools day...
All the best with QGis Gary,
Andrea
