I realize that, I more meant that I was wondering if the earlier post about the game reminded anyone else about this effect (hence its Wikipedia page being posted here one day later).

I'm curious about your plans around open-source, since you're using it as a selling point. There's been a lot of discussion about projects that start as open-source but then go to a more restrictive license once other compani

Typically operating systems don't maintain a database but instead rely on network time servers to let them know that a leap second is about to occur.
