Mr. St. Clair,

I have been following the Grokline project sponsored
by OSRM and recently became aware of a company called
Software Rights Archive that appears to be connected
with OSRM.

http://www.srarchive.com/

SRA is described as:

"The Software Rights Archive serves as a trusted,
objective source of historical information about the
development of software from its origins through the
present day. The Archive contains a large library of
licensed source code, rarer forms of technical
literature and documentation, and oral histories by
numerous key individual contributors to the
development of information technology, with a
particular focus on contributors to the Unix and the
Gnu/Linux Operating systems. Archive information is
indexed, tagged and organized electronically into
topical Timelines so that it can be searched in a
highly efficient manner using sophisticated search
methodologies.

The Software Rights Archive is designed to provide
intellectual property counsel researching issues of
software copyrights, trade secrets, patents, etc. with
actionable information available nowhere else."

I am wondering if this information archive is based on
or is the information OSRM has collected via Grokline?
or are there multiple archives?

I am also wondering if this is the same OSRM/Grokline
information, is it intended to be sold or put to other
uses different than what OSRM currently intends?

Thank you for your time,
