US government pushed tech firms to hand over source code
http://www.zdnet.com/article/us-government-pushed-tech-firms-to-hand-over-source-code/
The US government has made numerous attempts to obtain source
code from tech companies in an effort to find security flaws
that could be used for surveillance or investigations. The
government has demanded source code in civil cases filed under
seal but also by seeking clandestine rulings authorized under
the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a
person with direct knowledge of these demands told ZDNet.
