About the project
Freedom
The GRASS GIS project is developed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (the GPL) in the open by volunteers the world over.
GRASS differs from many other GIS software packages used in the professional world in that it is developed and distributed by users for users; mostly on a volunteer basis, in the open, and is given away for free.
Emphasis is placed on interoperability and unlimited access to data as well as software flexibility and evolution rate (both added features and bug minimization).
The GRASS Community and the Development Team
