Guys please can we not discuss this, I'd hate people to think that freedom of speech should trump fireeye's proprietary 
IP, built almost entirely on codebases written by others...

In a way our "IP" laws have confused a lot of us about security. What if
NOBODY TALKED ABOUT OUR WEAKNESSES BECAUSE IT WAS ILLEGAL, the
management teams say. This, of course, directly relates to the
"regulation is GOING to happen" Wassenaar crowd because it's the exact
same fundamental psychology at work. "We're going to regulate away the
threat" is as useless as saying "hackers won't buy our boxes to find out
how to bypass our defenses".
