Not everything developed by the government is automatically supposed to be available to the public so I guess I don't understand your point.

- Alupis 12y agoThe point is how is it acceptable that a previously-public-servant can have insider knowledge about "secret" government patents and he can obtain a license to use the technology but I cannot? That's absurd and an abuse of power and privilege.
- ObviousScience 12y agoDid it say he was going to use secret patents? Or just that he was going to use NSA patents? Because the NSA maintains a list of patented technologies that they offer to the public on various terms: http://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/tech_transfers/nsa_technology_transfer_program.pdf http://www.nsa.gov/research/_files/tech_transfers/nsa_techno...
- Alupis 12y agoEven if he uses knowledge, methods, practices, routines, guidelines, etc from his time serving at the NSA -- I would expect a NDA to prevent him from using any of that knowledge -- my company made me sign one, and so do most.
