Extremely unlikely. Multiple fingerprints were used for each piece of
software. For GeoServer I have 9 different fingerprints any one of which
is almost always unique to GeoServer, for MapServer
over two years (although with much less coverage of
services at the start of that). I'll let you know if/when I get around
