[Geomoose-users] Re: Just went through the incubation committee meeting log.

[Dan Little]

Also, as of tonight I've gone through the "htdocs/" directory except the "htdocs/geomoose".  Shortly, I will be working on tickets and working with those files as I come upon them.

If I could get some volunteers for the maps/ directory that would be great.

>>Dan and/or Bob correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC the *based* part is a historical artifact from the 1.x series that had a City of St. Paul copyright which was similar to MIT.  We had wanted MIT (to match MapServer) but the city lawyers felt they needed to change something.  (It was a bit of a battle to convince them that creating an entirely new open source license would essentially defeat adoption and so MIT based was a
 compromise.)  Note: The 2.x series was written from scratch (primarily by Duck) after he left the city so this isn't an issue for 2.x.
