I wish I totally understood OSS licensing (even having just been to a seminar on it)! My personal view is that it's up to the mapfish guys to sort it out for their demo, and then for everyone else to sort it out for their own particular circumstances (eg if they have the commercial licenses etc). Not that I'm trying to back away from the issue at all :-) Jo Hi ChrisW,

Some people say there's a risk of GPL contamination, others say it's an "aggregate" which is permitted by the GPL. You pay your (lawyers) money, and you take your choice, I guess!
