The "without prejudice" is important. I won't go into that, though,
except to say that it weakens Vixie/MAPS position. Vacated "with
prejudice" would mean that Exactis can't come back on that issue.

The order was vacated after MAPS/Vixie's attorney was chastised, and
after MAPS settled out of court with Exactis, agreeing (MAPS published
the settlement agreement for a few days on its web site) to specific
liquidated damages and agreeing never to block Exactis.

I'll put up the docket, the complaint, and the responses from Vixie and
MAPS for those who are interested. The best read, I think, to get a
general sense of what Vixie/MAPS did is found in the Memoranda submitted
by Exactis in support of the TRO that is online at
http://www.dotcomeon.com/exactis1.html This document contains (for
example) the words of the MAPS' employees threatening Exactis if they
contact a lawyer.
