Speaking as an outsider who has been hoping to see the technologies
you've mentioned achieving wider penetration of the Internet, I would
like to know what is intended by this assertion? Do you wish to
prevent outsiders from continuing to use these technologies? Are you
intending to license them somehow? Are we going to see an end to the
(to me) surprisingly dead silence that has reigned on the subject of
Hesiod and Moira for the past several years?
I'd be happy to see this as a precursor to some new activity to get
standard versions of Hesiod and Moira out into the world, protected
from pollution (e.g. Hesiod on Ultrix) by the MIT trademark. However,
since we haven't seen any new technology in years, and since Moira was
never officially released, this assertion of trademark rights leaves
me completely nonplussed. I would very much like some clarification
as to what this means.
