The way I understood it, we were going to have this resolved before any 
of the SoC kids were really in a position to commit anything (i.e. this 
week or next).

If this isn't the case, then I'd hate to set a bad example for them by 
making them code in secrecy, when we're supposed to be teaching them 
about open development.  That said, I really would like them all to be 
able to commit to MTN branches.

What sort of deadline have we given AOL/the lawyers?
