A serious, dedicated engineering forum on the same list as WikiLeaks and Tor?

Malda, what are you doing.  Maybe attempting to add some humor, but I don't 
think
it's helpful.  The next thing you know, other pubs will carry something about 
it,
with GNU radio "running in the top 5".

I would make a serious point that it could be wise to disassociate from entities
using GNU radio for questionable purposes.  Path Intelligence may be one 
example. 
Toby Oliver may be doing everything by the book, and I don't doubt his concept 
is
unique and potentially lucrative.  But my 2 cents to GNU powers-that-be is not 
to
endorse or take contributions -- code, money, or otherwise -- from entities 
that are
likely to run into privacy or security related litigation.  Those are hot 
potatoes
that don't need to be touched.
