The linear polarization of astrophysical masers due to magnetic field effects has been calculated for a static thin cylindrical masing region. Such calculations are more realistic than previous polarization models which either used the large velocity gradient approximation or used a one-dimensional maser model to make the calculations tractable. When spontaneous emission is the source of the maser's seed photons, the maximum linear polarization is significantly less than 100 percent.
