RE: Foundstone - keeping free tools from the public

People need to read the legal docs before making comments. It is
apparent Netobjects is infringing on Foundstones rights by using
propriety Foundstone code. No one is stopping Netobjectives from using
their own code they are nothing but another script kiddie.

In my humble opinion, it looks like Foundstone is being a greedy little
hypocrite. What they are doing is unethical to Microsoftesque levels and
goes against just about everything they've told the public and their
customer base. Furthermore, on top of their hypocrisy, they are using
words like "cyberterrorists" (it's gotten to the point that 'cyber' and
'terrorist' are one word now? Even catchier...) in order to appeal to
their clients and score brownie points with their large government
customer base who promote keeping the public in the dark.

I'm going to have to write angry emails to all the Foundstone employees
I know now...

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.
