I agree that it would be great to have a page on the web site that
contains the official license.  Then right at the beginning it would be
clear for new users that MapServer comes with no strings attached, a big
advantage over other pseudo-free packages.  

I know this information is already in a README somewhere, but you have
to download the source and find the README before you have your
licensing questions answered.

  Don't put for tomorrow what you can do today, because if 
      you enjoy it today you can do it again tomorrow.
