Woo-hoo!  There is now!  Autodesk has released MapServer under the
LGPL, and it runs on Linux.

All the news articles seem to be based on (or repeat verbatim) the
press release from Autodesk, which uses the term "web mapping".  I
thought for a while that it was network mapping, like show you nodes
and ping remote computers and stuff.  But they mean that it's a
server/client model, and it serves maps of geography (or whatever else
spatial you feed it).  Now we just need a useful source of maps!
