MAPPS lawsuit

In a decision that is not a big suprise, the courts decided against MAPPS in their lawsuit to limit who could engage in federally-funded mapping. UCGIS has a press release that links to further details. The court dismissed the case on the grounds that MAPPS lacked legal standing to pursue the matter. The full decision is still interesting reading as it examines the different Federal jobs that MAPPS' firms didn't get and why they were insufficient for moving the case forward.
