Go Alan!
I think Alan is within his rights denying the US security information concerning the Linux kernel. The DMCA is looked upon by US citicens as a private affair but this is clearly not the case for let's say Sklyarov. As long as US egocentric and destructive view of copyright is free to influence our lives you can consider youreself excluded from the Open movement. Why should it protect the very thing that is trying to destroy it?
