Well... let's face facts here, you are involved and have been involved for a long time in the development of software that is instrumental in the operation of the Internet. It does not surprise me at all that what you speak of is happening.
and also for the record, we're commercializing BIND since i'm no longer able to fund it out of my own pocket (my pocket is now empty) and we ended up not getting the kind of donations we needed as a nonprofit.
Does this mean the ISC is going away?
