Cygnus needs a tool and so they implement a tool.  Cygnus shares the
tool, and explains that this is the situation.  Cygnus hopes users
will be collaborators and not lusers.  But, in light of the purpose of the
tool, lusers necessarily dominate.

Meanwhile, Cygnus Support becomes Cygnus Solutions; they communicate
their increased capacity for lusers, and in this case specifically.

Happy-happy-joyfully, in doing so, they retain goodwill towards their
free software colleagues, continuing on with the GPLed 'net distribution.

Life is grand.
