“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 idea that their belatedly–registered copyright should apply to similar code written independently in different languages? 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?”
