Sean is on the trail of something on MS-USERS ..

I couldn’t be bothered checking whether the software has the required MIT License enclosed, but lets hope they do!

DMSolutions commercial products certainly know that balance, lets hope they do the same.

    I have confirmed they follow MapServer’s license and include the copyright notice.
