The QGIS project: Spatial without compromise Graser et al. present the evolution, governance, and impact of QGIS, a leading geographic information system (GIS). They highlight its role in democratizing geospatial data management and analysis, enabling open and reproducible research, and fostering digital sovereignty through sustainable open-source development. By examining its governance and development model, this paper underscores how QGIS provides a robust, accessible alternative to proprietary GIS solutions, ensuring that spatial analysis remains transparent, inclusive, and globally impactful. http://dlvr.it/TKtVZH
