Re: FastCGI specification license encumberment

I also wonder about the legal status of the original FastCGI code and the Open Market license, especially given the turbulence with Open Market ... or is the Open Market, Inc. in the FastCGI license a different company than the one in these articles?

Searching Fastcgi.com for 'license':
http://www.google.com/search?q=license+site%3Afastcgi.com&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

The issue has been raised before:
http://www.fastcgi.com/archives/fastcgi-developers/2000-August/000355.html

Anyone have answers?
Who is currently the legal copyright owner of the original code?

Cheers,
Gavin
