Hello steering committee,
as you know Mapbender (2.x and 3) is dual licensed under GNU GPL and
simplified BSD license. In my opinion this is unneccecarily
complicated, as everybode should be allowed to use and enhance the
software, even with the freedom to not have to open-source their
enhancements. While I encourage everyone to participate fully open in
the development process I don't want to us to enforce it.
So i would like to simplify the Mapbender3 licensing and suggest to
publish Mapbender3 exclusively under the MIT license [1].
We checked the licensing of the different modules and software we use
for Mapbender3 and found only MIT compatible licenses. You will find
list of the components and their licenses at the end of the email. I
also added some links to the different licenses.
So i start a motion to change the license of Mapbender3 to MIT license
alone and ask the steering committee to vote until 25.07.2014.
I therefore opt with +1 for the aforementioned proposal.
Cheers,
Christan Wygoda - project chair
