From the documentation<br>and source code I understand that Mapserver uses the regex 0.12<br>library, which is released under the GNU GPL v2 license. Can Mapserver<br>actually be released under an MIT-style license when it contains<br>portions of code released under GPL? I am not extending mapserver on<br>its own, however, am considering using mapscript in a commercial<br>application. I wonder if I would have to release my application using<br>mapscript under GPL v2 license. Can anybody please explain me this<br>licensing issue?<br><br>Best regards, Josef<br>_______________________________________________<br>mapserver-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org">mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org</a><br>http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>mapserver-users mailing list<br>mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users<br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
