It would appear that "pointing out" is quite necessary in your field of 
endeavor. ZOË license was changed on December 26, 2002, roughly a year 
before the now righteous Mr Mallet's "Open Source @ Comdex Winners & 
Results" dated  November 6, 2003. And it took you, Mr Sitaker, two more 
years to "head it up" to this day, January 31, 2005.

Rather embarrassing myopia for such vocal proponent of The Open Source 
Initiative Corporation.

Mr Linksvayer rather late and peripheral involvement brightly exemplify 
such shortsightedness:

In any case, thanks you all for encouraging software innovation by 
running such enlightened vendetta.

As an aside, and out of genuine curiosity, what does link you, Mr 
Sitaker and Mr Mallett and Mr Linksvayer? Mr Linksvayer candidly 
mentioned that you are "friends". Is that so? High-school friends 
perhaps?

This is quite exemplary indeed.

Thanks again.

Cheers,

PA.
