No attacker, I'm just curious as to how such a scenario would work out.  
Were it the case that some commercial entity decided to take over a 
project against the wishes of the traditional maintainers, how would it 
be resolved?  I hardly expect this to happen with zsh but such a thing 
is conceivable.  I guess GPL makes it unlikely that an open source 
project could ever be privatized, still someone as big as Apple could be 
determined to have their way vis a vis some change or other.  Just curious.
