Which is what I said initially - one would find out about such illegal activities only if an employee spilled the beans. You forgot reverse engineering, and a bunch of other methods to figure out such things. And even in that case, I am not sure that it could lead to legal proceedings - violation of non-disclosure agreement on that employee's part would poison the entire process of discovery. A NDA cannot dictate that someone must do a crime, or keep quiet about a crime. Then there is always this thing called anonymity. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
