The article mentions that AltaVista released data from its logs for research purposes a few years ago. I remember being contacted by someone at AV who wanted me to provide (anonymized) log data to a research group at the 'tute. I don't remember offhand what group it was, however. In fact, I was ticked off about this because the contact wouldn't let me communicate with the MIT people directly, even though I was perfectly capable of doing so. This was around the time I started feeling unhappy about my role within the company.
