"A few days after the HP letter was made public, a company public relations official reversed course, noting that the initial threat "was not consistent or indicative of HP's policy" and that "HP will not use the DMCA to stifle research or impede the flow of information that would benefit our customers and improve their system security." "



Hmmm...this didn't have anything to do with the fact that HP was told about the security vulnerability about a year ago and decided to do nothing?

HP deserves to get sued. What about corporate customers that have been exploited over the past year by this vulnerability? The only reason it is going to get patched now is because the exploit was brought out into the open.
