Publisher Genealogy

[Greg Grossmeier <grossmei@umich.edu>]

Hello fine members of the liblicense list.

I feel like I remember a discussion on this list, or at least one 
message, that included a link to a resource documenting the 
genealogy or acquisition history of the major academic 
publishers. Unfortunately, my searches of my personal email 
archive and the web archive[1] have not turned up anything 
useful.

Does anyone remember this resource, or am I making up this 
fantasy?

Baring finding this magical resource, I suppose one could begin 
this project by going through a time-line of acquisitions per 
publisher[2].

All the best,

Greg
