Will someone summarize this?

[Aniruddha S. Khadkikar]

I am totally lost amongst 100 mails per day wrt the naming of:
The Foundation and,
Mapserver.

It is indeed difficult to follow the discussion now. Can someone provide 
a summary of what has come out of these discussion till now?

Have we agreed that:

Mapserver retain its identity as before (I vote for that - in case 
polling is on).

The Autodesk product not have Mapserver in its name to remove ambiguity. 
UMN Mapserver clearly scores in terms of precedence/priority on this 
issue (a rule followed by the scientific community). The may ofcourse 
choose to include "Based on Mapserver" as part of their product 
description if they wish to.

In future, transparency in decision making be mandatory for a community 
project to succeed and retain its value. And as part of a democratic 
process, a consensus be taken everytime such important decisions are made.

There would be no change in the license policy in future that would 
affect end users banking on open source products like me.

and, most importantly,
What are the steps forward? Let us immediately put an end to renaming 
Mapserver. Rename the Foundation, Rename the Autodesk product, or rename 
any other thing. But there is no necessity to rename Mapserver.

Mapserver is, and should always remain Mapserver.
Amen.
