I'm hoping someone with experience in this area can chime in. It's a convoluted subject for sure. MapServer doesn't contain code from any regex library, it uses an API that a few regex libs support so you can actually compile against others.

From the documentation and source code I understand that Mapserver uses the regex 0.12 library, which is released under the GNU GPL v2 license. Can Mapserver actually be released under an MIT-style license when it contains portions of code released under GPL? I am not extending mapserver on its own, however, am considering using mapscript in a commercial application. I wonder if I would have to release my application using mapscript under GPL v2 license. Can anybody please explain me this licensing issue?
