Well, I never got an answer from Len, but it does seem that OSRM has answered. The footer that contains the copyright notice at GrokLine has been updated. It now reads, in part:
Copyright ©2004 OSRM.
That means that as the copyright owner, OSRM is not bound by any CCL license restrictions, but anyone else that wants to use it is.
This means that anyone who wants to contribute to OSRM is giving a commercial entity their work for free.
In a different ip-wars story, ColonelZen has pointed out that OSRM will have subpoenable information regarding who has seen what information on which patents. And this information will be tied to a verifiable e-mail address and to an IP address. This is because none of the Patent Project material is available without a login.
I'm feeling more and more unease about this project as things go on. ---Tim Rushing
