[mapserver-dev] GDAL/Mapserver PSC Members - OGC Trademark License Agreement signed by OSGeo

[Michael Smith]

FYI, to GDAL / Mapserver PSC members,

Today I signed the OGC Trademark License Agreement on behalf of the OSGeo
board. 

This was previously done by the MapServer and GDAL PSCs before it was
merged under the OSGeo provider.
