Daniel,

Might someone forward a request like this to them as a gentle prod?

shouldn't it be released under a less permissive license?


You're correct, MapServer's license allows this, and I'd be the first to object to a switch to a more restrictive license, that would complicate things too much for when we deal with others who built stuff on top of MapServer and are more open about it (if you want names, look in the list of sponsors of the first few MapServer meetings).

That being said, I can still wish that they be more open and give credit to MapServer for providing the core of their system, or perhaps spend some time on this list helping users, or do something/anhything for the project... for me it's a wish, not a requirement.
