Hi Rob! Project Zero is not Open Source as your web site makes perfectly clear. However I can't seem to find a copy of your licence without downloading your software. Do you have a link to the licence? I'm raising this because of concerns that I and some collaborators had about your project's treatment of IP when the project was launched. >From what I recall IBM asserts ownership of all code and ideas "contributed" to the project (which, I think, includes ideas expressed in your forum). I think it would be helpful if you would make it clear that any ideas, techniques and code, shared by and with you in this forum would not be the subject of any ownership claim by IBM. Sorry to be a pain about this but it does seem to be a rather unusual project from a licensing point of view. Note I'm not trolling for a discussion on the merits or demerits of this model I'm just making sure that we don't run into embarrassment in the future.
