There isn't a shred of the original mongrel parser left. I'm not 100% sure but http-parser looks more like it's inspired by nginx than that it actually contains nginx code.

Disclosure: I know both http-parser and nginx fairly well. I'm one of the 'other Node contributors'. :-)

You've missed the fact that this e-mail is from 2009 and tweet is from yesterday. Surely a lot changed in the meantime.

Anyway, Igor Sysoev was just added to the LICENSE file, so EOT.
