Happy news,

In what sounds like a sudden outbreak of common sense the lawsuit against
Olson and Eggert. There following is, believe it or not, a statement from
Astrolabe:

 "Astrolabe's lawsuit against Mr. Olson and Mr. Eggert was based on a flawed
 understanding of the law. We now recognize that historical facts are no
 one's property and, accordingly, are withdrawing our Complaint. We deeply
 regret the disruption that our lawsuit caused for the volunteers who
 maintain the TZ database, and for Internet users."
