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.<br><br>>> <br>>> 3) Um where is the source code?
