[Web4lib] More on the Open Content Alliance

[Drew, Bill]

I'm also curious as to why Project Gutenberg is not a part of the Open
Content Alliance.  Pockets not deep enough?  It already has the content
in a very readable and useful form, but then it doesn't look like a
"real" book and the Alliance seems hung up on looks instead of content.
Stuck on the package and not the content again.
