MapServer is an free and open-source platform for publishing spatial data and interactive mapping applications to the web. Originally developed in the mid-1990’s at the University of Minnesota, MapServer is openly developed and released under an MIT-style license, and runs cross-platform on macOS, Linux and Windows. MapServer is not a full-featured GIS system, nor does it aspire to be.
