[MSF-Discuss] Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Autodesk product naming poll

[Richard Greenwood]

"Mapserver" is an existing application that many of us are passionate
about for our own various reasons. Autodesk has grabbed this name, and
stuck the "Enterprise" suffix on it. Regardless of what Autodesk
contributes to the open source geospatial community, there is a
certain sense of name theft.

If this name theft was inadvertent, then change the Autodesk
application's name to something that is less offensive to the
Mapserver community and let's get on with life. If the theft is
intentional, well, then let the acrimony continue, but what a waste.
