“Should we be more outraged by Battelle’s decision to license, rather than open-source, code developed with taxpayer money? By their breathtakingly broad patent application?

By the amazing contention that an open-source version of a network visualization tool would have ‘national security implications’? Or by the notion that those who call themselves ‘hackers’ are advertising to the world their intent to break the law?”
