   From the actual facts, this seems to be the case.  Why not just trust
   him until his actions prove otherwise?

No, I didn't miss it.  Note the emphasis on SOMEDAY.

This whole discussion is reminds me of the discussion about whether 
serious security holes should be posted.

If Brad posts what he's actually trying to accomplish with all of this,
what is lawyer's strategy will be against the next JEDR attack, and
exactly what "copyright rights" if any he thinks he can enforce, he's
throwing away most of his protection.

Again, ONCE AGAIN, couldn't we just leave Brad alone until he actually
DOES something objectionable.
