The reason OCLC is filing against the Library Hotel is to protect their
copyright status with regard to the Dewey Decimal System. If they do not
challenge this unauthorized use, others with more malicious intent could
challenge their copyright status. OCLC has offered to negotiate with the
Library Hotel over this matter and they refuse.

I say this as member Solinet member of OCLC's Members Council.
