This should serve as an example to people who want (for example) the GNU project to relax their contributor copyright assignment practices. It only takes a single moment of complacency and the vultures will swoop in. In this case it was because of sloppiness around which urls were used in a demo. Yeah, all urls are the same to the guy who is building a url slurping service (which is why the take down will likely be defeated), but there is an entire profession dedicated to nothing but nit picking, loophole hunting, and general levels of pedantry that we have just come to call it lawyering. Layers are like cliffs or handguns. Stay as far away from them as possible, they are facts of life, but you really don't want to have anything to do with them unless you have no other option.
