You're correct, MapServer's license allows this, and I'd be the first to 
object to a switch to a more restrictive license, that would complicate 
things too much for when we deal with others who built stuff on top of 
MapServer and are more open about it (if you want names, look in the 
list of sponsors of the first few MapServer meetings).

That being said, I can still wish that they be more open and give credit 
to MapServer for providing the core of their system, or perhaps spend 
some time on this list helping users, or do something/anhything for the 
project... for me it's a wish, not a requirement.
