Check out http://icgfm.blogspot.com/2009/05/obi-response-to-blog-posting.html for updated response from Vivek Ramkumar.

The confusion over dates may have been related to what was available by September 2007 vs. September 2008. Of course, there could be some misunderstanding about definitions - clearly OBI is focused on what was publicly available.
