More copyright insanity

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

An astrology (astrology!) company has sued the keepers of the Olson/time-zone 
database.  The database has been shut down.

The database isn't very important.  It's only used by a little-known operating 
system called UNIX, a minor language called Java, and a few other entities.  So 
this action shouldn't be of any concern.  (NOT!)
