I'm not sure I agree with that last sentence Mordy. Depending upon how 
they handle it they may never see Cisco again, but there's a world of 
difference between X-Force losing major clients and ISS worldwide going 
down the pan, at least that's how I see it (not that I'd shed a tear for 
ISS if they did go down the pan, but that's beside the point).

If ISS were doing a source code analysis, I do hope they have the right 
to sue the bejesus out of the guy. I'd also suggest that Cisco point the 
finger at ISS, rather than Lynn as he was under ISS's employ at the time 
he wrote the talk, even though he wasn't when he gave it and ultimately 
ISS is liable for his breach of NDA.

However, if this turns into a DMCA job or a wacky piracy/terrorist-type 
criminal issue, it just gives me another reason not to return to the 
U.S. and remain in my undersea lair with my home-grown PVR, open-source 
systems and TOR-ified tin-foil-covered Internet connection ;)
