hi,

the reference for the discussed fact is

@article{FoxT:cartesian,
author = {Thomas Fox},
title = {{Coalgebras and cartesian categories}},
journal = {Communications in Algebra},
volume = {4},
year = {1976},
pages = {665--667},
issue = {7},
doi = {10.1080/00927877608822127},
}

sorry about lagging behind. it is interesting how forgetting leads to new discoveries :)
