>>>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.
