Faust-

What is wrong with you? Did someone steal your login
and post this in your name? This doesnt sound like
you.

Agreed, but a bit drastic as a first measure.

I guess I dont see how the oversight could be theirs.
Thats like saying the oversight was mine if someone
publshes my OGC wihout me knowing about it.

Publicizing it is not the worst. Publicizing it in an
unprofessional manner might be. There is nothing
inapporpriate about an "Open Call for Correction"
stating you noticed an obvious oversight and wanted to
give company X a chance to publically correct it. But
even that should happen only after a letter to the
publisher.

But the Netbook people need to decide what they want.
If it is just credit, you go about it different than
if they want to take other action.

Do what is best for you, not what is best for
Mongoose. Let them worry about that. If they had
wanted to worry about that they could have done it
right in the first place or taken prompt steps when
they noticed the error or were contacted.

(This is the part that really doesnt sound like Faust
to me)

I am a strong advocate of asking permission even when
you dont have to. I think it avoids things like this.
