From the web site:
"PMM is offered free of charge to any not-for-profit broadcaster, and is offered with installation and technical support to any CPB-qualified public broadcaster."
So, I saw the web site first. My input is that this really should be Free Software.
Now, they should clear up the contradictions. I hope in favour of the GPL.
I also suggest that public broadcasters strongly consider copylefting their content. Say a Creative Commons BY-SA licence or something better if anyone knows of one. (I would be interested in hearing of such a licence as well.)
Also, you might want to look at Rivendell for your stations if you do automation:
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
Some thoughts for them.

<a href="http://www.pubforge.org/" title="pubforge.org">http://www.pubforge.org/</a pubforge.org>
And yet from the sourceforge site:
