Hi Angelos, Hamish and others,
I'm +1 for removal of MapTiler from OSGeo-Live based on:
1. Request from the project owner to be removed
2. No change to released version of MapTiler to osgeolive since
osgeolive 3.0 (5 years ago)
This is not true, Hamish did offer to maintain gdal2tiles.py for
OSGeoLive 8.0 so that it would work with MapTiler.
3. As far as I can see, it looks like maptiler has moved to a pay for
service business model: http://www.maptiler.com/pricing/
However, I'd welcome input from others and happy to be convinced
otherwise.
Unless I hear from Hamish or the GSoC mentor of MapTiler, I am going to
veto the removal.

Hi Cameron,
There was a discussion about this some versions back.
We had suggested to remove MapTiler back then for the same reasons too.
The situation is a bit more complex AFAIK: I think it was Hamish who
reported that the original MapTiler application was developed under
OSGeo Google Summer of Code and as such we should try to keep the
open source version alive.
I am -0 to remove it, until we consult Hamish or someone involved in
GSoC regarding the copyrights of the results.
Best,
Angelos

I've raised a ticket:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1467
I'll look after updating the docs.
Docs updated.
Angelos, I'll let you comment MapTiler out of the main.sh script.
