I wonder if he got paid.... Seems that if you are protecting your "intellectual property" you probably value it because you wish to use it. This may be just the sort of article he wished to profit from. Doesn't seem any more flatering than Doug's analysis or those posted here on this forum but Nat'l Geo with the pockets may have just sent him a check to keep the whole thing from becoming a problem. (or not) From a business "survival" perspective I sure would like to know but of course we won't be told.
