I have not used MAPS, so I cannot comment on its utility. but I have never heard a single credible claim Mr. Vixie is a spammer, more or less a verifiable one. (Yes, that includes the claim below.) From my personal experience, Mr. Vixie is very much the opposite of a spammer. Mr. Vixie gave the Keynote speech at the NANOG conference yesterday, so I would submit the community at large disagrees with Mr. Anderson's assessment.
The former MAPS offerings have been owned by Trend Microsystems since 2005, and I'm fairly certain that Mr. Vixie hasn't been involved in that project since before Trend took over.
