The Tilecache

TileCache is a BSD licensed tile caching mechanism. The goal is to make it easy to set up a WMS or TMS frontend to any backend data services you might be interested in, using a pluggable caching and rendering mechanism. The TileCache was designed as a companion to OpenLayers, the BSD licensed web mapping interface.
