      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>

              <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>
