From: James BaldwinThis had _nothing_ to do with the source code that was stolen. I have dealt with Lynn professionally on many occasions and he has shown himself to have more than a fair share of integrity. It is uncalled for to take to disparate events and place them together in a way which smudges the name of a respected researcher.I don't see any smearing of anybody's name. What I do see is speculation, which is to say, "reasoning based on inconclusive evidence; conjecture or supposition." In otherwords, J offered a "guess" that the two might be related and certainly wasn't pointing fingers as if that was the definitive reason. It sometimes happens that seemingly disparate events are actually linked, so it was not an entirely illogical guess. -JFO
Given that it was clear that Lynn had NDA access to the Cisco source code already, it seems pretty clear that the original poster wasn't even speculating that he had stolen it, but to potential exploiters' having done so.
