The concept of keeping secrets does not apply to companies who are their own best customer. Witness Amazon putting AWS out there for dirt cheap. Witness github and all the open sourcing. Witness Microsoft and its open sourcing. Witness Apple open sourcing part of its OS. The publication of 'secrets' is no longer revealing the company jewels. Secrets are so complex and the infrastructure is so large, that the best people who know their value, flaws and shortcomings are the owners! It would have been like AT&T revealing the 'secret' of their network switch. Who else could possibly use it. Or western electric revealing the 'secret' of their wire.
