It just seems a bit odd how it is NOT acceptable to the source of Mr
Greenes information to publish the actual information (nor the sources
and methods, which is not unusual), but it IS acceptable for Greene to
publish a detailed summary of the information.  The logic is
incredibly flawed here because Greene welcomes a lawsuit by @Stake,
whereby if Greene refuses to share the information with a court of
law, then he accepts defeat in the lawsuit, and if he does share the
information then he compromises his asset.  The Register is a UK
company, @Stake is a US company, and I don't know the laws of Int'l
business but it would seem to me that this would be how it would break
down, no?
