hmmmmm
After looking at that pic....I have a wild guess.
(Note, I am in no way affiliated with Wizards, Fluid, or CodeMonkey)
I bet it has something to do with brining Etools to Linux..........that pitchfork is very much like the FreeBSD Daemon's pitchfork....... }:>
Again....that's my 2cp.

Re: hmmmmm
Interesting catch about the fork... Although I doubt that e-tools would be ported to Linux but the agreement might have to do with how the data in e-tools is used. For example (my WAG), a tool might be available so that e-tool data could be exported into PCGen 'lst' files.
(Proviso, that was Wild Guess which may be completely off-base due a huge number of reasons).
