Sean,

The copyright is the property of the university, so I don't see
that the MTSC could make any sort of binding decision on it.
Of course, we could vote advising the university to take some
action.

But I think the question is whether we (the MTSC + some
advisors) should take on a broader decision making role in the
mapserver project.  I am generally not keen on the idea, but
will try and respond in more detail on the -users thread.

Best regards,
