I think that a community wide boycott of Foundstone, Inc and it's affiliates
is in order. In fact, I think that *not* boycotting this company and those
who choose to not boycott it as well would be criminally unethical.

Subject: Foundstone - keeping free tools from the public




What does the community think of this news -
http://www.ntobjectives.com/pressrelease_lawsuit.html?  Seems big
Foundstone is trying to keep others from releasing free tools to the
community.  Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but didn't they used to talk about
the benefits of providing these types of tools to combat hacking?
Perhaps I'm wrong and just misunderstanding their position.
