It was Lynn's choice based on his statement to the press - and it was
still his choice no matter what the coercion might have been.

Larry had no right to take take that choice away, and I doubt anyone
here has the right nor the first-hand knowledge in order to pass
judgement on the reasons for Lynn's choice.

Based on Lynn's statements his motivation was patriotic.  Who are we
to judge that was not his intent for his intellectual property?

I ask you, how do you know it wasn't?

I sincerely hope it bites you in the arse.


Was it free will, or the threat of jail and other difficulties?

Afterall, employment was not a show stopper for him, he quit to release
his findings and gain glory in the crowds at hacker fests.  so was it
really free will I ask again?

Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
