Well - so much for timezones.

Summary: the 'tzinfo' files are no longer online, and most of our
linux/unix systems (and things like Java, Oracle, etc.) rely on these
files for their date functionality.  They are also sometimes known as
the "Olson ID's"

These facts are "intellectual property" now?  Can the fact that Daylight
Savings definitions changed between 1919 and 1920 be copyrighted?

I guess it's time for the whole world to just start using UTC globally
and no longer keep shifting hour-by-timezones. I personally would be
fine with waking up at 15:00, getting to work by 17:00, etc...
