Mr. Dowling has confused an OCLC Office of Research project with a product.
Nothing is for sale.

I posted the message to the *two* lists to which Mr. Drew's message had been
posted.

Then what, it is an advertisement?  If by using a real-world example I
called attention to ("advertised") both a problem and a proposed solution,
then yes, it was an advertisement.  But since nothing was offered in exchange
for any consideration, it was not a commercial advertisement.
