Actually, Frank, to me it seems more clear that a number of people feel just the other way. Yes, there has been one email about the potential confusion between MapServer, the software, and a mapserver, a software that serves maps, (and, yes, that is possible) but most folks on this MS-Users list have strongly voiced their opinion that MapServer should remain MapServer, and no other software, such as the Autodesk MapGuide, should be given the MapServer qualifier. You are definitely one of the most important developers behind this software. Steve has himself said in public that his little program would not have gone anywhere without the libraries that you contributed, and I respect Steve's sentiments and opinions perhaps more than anyone else's. Nevertheless, I respectfully, completely, disagree with your view on the re-titling of MapServer.
