[Geomoose-users] Copyright Infringement Issue

[James Klassen]

First, I cannot give legal advice, so you are on your own there. 
Second, I object to your email subject as being FUD. 

GeoMoose IS copyrighted material.  The license that GeoMoose is
distributed under is available in the LICENSE file in every download,
near the top of the source files, and on the GeoMoose website [1].  
GeoMoose and OpenLayers are both OSGeo Projects, so another place to
look is at the requirements for a project to pass OSGeo Incubation [2].

Most other open source projects are similar.
