Funny to see Intel re-take control of OpenCV after handing it off(?) to Willow Garage and then Itseez. Guess it turned out to be more important than they initially thought?

(?) Don't know the details of the transitions and why they occurred

When Gary Bradski worked at Intel, he was the leader of OpenCV. He was the only one there who was passionate about it and Intel officially supported the project basically as a favor to him. So when he left to found Willow Garage, they saw no problem with letting him continue to be the leader of the project.
