I highly recommend we get IA involved if at all possible - it sounds like
they have a data set they could provide us (identical to the one they
provided ReCaptcha), or at least know exactly how to generate one. We
could, you know, ACTUALLY provide them with the results and be good open
content citizens.
I wonder if Google will try bringing patent claims against a
reimplementation of reCaptcha.
