Please remove the listing at your first opportunity.

The group has a problem with the legal agreement that is thrust upon
us *after* the inclusion of the information. Quite honestly, an unfunded
and volunteer project has little to gain from your listings. On the
other hand, Intel has *something* to gain by having a complete listing.

Given the litigous history of Intel, Intel's current charges against
Randal Schwartz (many of us are Perl programmers) and your legal
requirements to be included in your catalog, we elect not to be listed.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
