Hello everyone, I call your attention to this post on The Economist <http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2011/10/copyright-and-time-zones>regarding the database of timezones used by the world's computers. Apparently a US company has issued a takedown order based on a copyright claim. Further in the article there is mention that IANA was considered a possible custodian of the database, hence the relevance here. The article also suggests that the takedown notice might be invalid since timezones are facts and not expression -- but that this won't be tested in court. Is there anyone here that understands the issue better than I? Is this something in which At-Large can -- or should -- play a role? More info can be found -- including detauls of efforts to recreate the database -- are found in this blog post<http://blog.joda.org/2011/10/today-time-zone-database-was-closed.html> . - Evan
