Hi Thomas,<br>
<br>
the short story is that larger companies are sometimes a "little"
uneasy with using GPLed software, while MIT works with them.<br>
<br>
The first great story is that we as WhereGroup are having such
customers and the second is that the MIT license is GPL
compatible.<br>
<br>
Both licenses are not forcing anyone to publish their changes like
the AGPL for example would, but the MIT license makes working in
an corporate environment definately easier. For us as Mapbender
devs, for WhereGroup bringing Open Source into these environments
and for the corporate customers gaining powerful Open Source
software they are at ease with.<br>
<br>
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Christian<br>

steering committee,<br>
<br>
as you know Mapbender (2.x and 3) is dual licensed under
GNU GPL and simplified BSD license. In my opinion this is
unneccecarily complicated, as everybode should be allowed
to use and enhance the software, even with the freedom to
not have to open-source their enhancements. While I
encourage everyone to participate fully open in the
development process I don't want to us to enforce it.<br>
<br>
So i would like to simplify the Mapbender3 licensing and
suggest to publish Mapbender3 exclusively under the MIT
license [1].<br>
<br>
We checked the licensing of the different modules and
software we use for Mapbender3 and found only MIT
compatible licenses. You will find list of the components
and their licenses at the end of the email. I also added
some links to the different licenses.<br>
<br>
So i start a motion to change the license of Mapbender3 to
MIT license alone and ask the steering committee to vote
until 25.07.2014.<br>
<br>
I therefore opt with +1 for the aforementioned proposal.<br>
<br>
