It isn't the wording per se, but the rather weird way it morphed a short while ago. Demonstrates it's unstable and there is some sort of internal conflict in Lucent. Given their financial situation it would not surprise me if the lawyers decided it wouldn't be a nifty way to raise some going out of business capital. Such a situation could create a very serious situation for any user groups or indy developers who happen to jump on the Plan 9 bandwagon.
