Wilson Sonsini was engaged by OSMF on October 13, 2008.

Since then there has been a dialog between Jordan Hatcher and Wilson Sonsini
acting on behalf of OSMF.

Other than the uses cases document, which was published at the same time as
the license, the OSMF board has not received *any* communication from Wilson
Sonsini.

As far as I am aware any interactive discussion between Clark Asay and
Jordan Hatcher has not been documented.
