I do not think that the question posed on legal-discuss really

Erlang-oauth is 99.9% complete and unabridged. ibrowse is 100%
complete and unabridged. The proof is in the pudding:

Okay, so there is a minor change in erlang-oauth that I didn't know
was there, probably due to upstream applying my patch differently.
I'll look into this.
As for mochiweb, I'm pretty sure we're not intending to fork and as
Paul mentioned we're working hard on preparing for 0.10 so some of
those particular changes haven't been pushed as a patch to upstream
yet (although the UTF-16 surrogate pair patch is already in the Google
project).
I'm still open for discussion about whether we are following the
guidelines correctly but let's get some authoritative input on this.
I've posted a follow-up question to legal-discuss@ asking about minor
modifications so hopefully we can get this resolved once and for all.
Cheers,
