ora owns web2.0 - and will sue your ass if you try to use it

It's the ORA camel not the Perl camel ... that's one problem.

A bigger problem is that ORA seems to own the domain "perl.com" - and not 
The Perl Foundation (TPF) - which is supposed to be the holder of the keys 
for Perl.

ORA's patronage of "perl.com" is not a "charity case" as you seemed to 
make out in a previous thread. They are commercially clueful and are using 
the "Web 2.0" mark for commercial gain just like "perl.com" and the 
"camel".

I'm wondering too? ;-)
