[Ray Dillinger]

Of interest to a bunch of people on the list, Matt Green has
filed a lawsuit specifically addressing the elephant in the
room.

If anybody's going to fix this stuff, we have to find out what
it is.  If anybody's going to make reasonable assessments of
security when selecting products to use, they have to know the
risks.  If anybody's going to defend anyone from crackers, they
have to know what security problems they're trying to keep the
crackers from exploiting.

So.  Um.  Yeah.  People need to be able to publish information
about security flaws.  On the topic of the stunningly obvious,
the sun rises in the east, too.
