There is pretty much a long time i wanted to switch my stuff on the BSD License.

More as an habit than a conviction, my source files where header pollutated by the GPL License.

For me, and in my opinion, the GPL is not as free as it claims to.

Why ? Because the final user cannot do what he want with your code.

Some debate will qualify that as communism  (GPL) vs anarchy (BSD). I prefer anarchy :).

Of course i use the "modified BSD license" which is compatible with the GPL.

Some on the concerned:

• minitage.core
• dj.paste
• minitage.recipe
• minitage.paste
• cluereleasemanager.paste
  

As part of a new project deployment plan, we needed to deploy mapscript.

Python-MapScript are the python bindings to the underlying mapserver library.

Where the pain begins is that there is no egg available for it, but an old fashioned distutils distribution;.

My bits there were to make some quickly egg compatible on most unixes. My will is to make it nicer and be integrated on the mapserver trunk code.

You can find the code there : http://git.minitage.org/git/others/mapscript/

And play with the egg:

easy_install mapscript 

You must know that mapserver-config must be available in your $PATH.
