tzdata attacked by Astrolabe Inc. with lawsuit

[Jules Descartes]

It seems that tzdata mailing list has been temporarily shut down due
to a lawsuit by Astrolabe against Olson and Eggert.
Slashdot carries many details.

I predict Astrolabe is going to end up with a bloody nose and egg on
their face.
The tzdata community project will prevails and be stronger after it.

Anyone knows what's going on with this issue?

I see that the traffic on this list is stalled...

Sincerely,
