MapServer Foundation - Open Letter

[Gary Lang]

That wasn't the intention. It's just based on an observation made by
DanielM which was that MSE seemed to be tailored more for the
enterprise. I don't know MS's user base as well as he does, so I
respected his and Frank's thoughts on it I recall that the name was
suggested by Daniel, and so we took the name suggestion and ran  with
it.

But I see the point here. These are good points. I no more want to see
MapServer be characterized as being incapable of being used by an
enterprise than I want to see MSE be characterized as not being a
community product.

While I agree completely with that point, following the same reasoning
implies that  MS cheetah hasn't any entreprise capabilities cheers, tb
