Lots of people have been saying this but I don't quite understand how that can
be. Unless the NSA never distributes their work to any other agency or
organisation they cannot close the source. Do you suggest that they will never
distribute it? Or do you suggest that they will blatantly break the law? If
they intended to do the latter they would have just classified the whole
project and never let anyone know about it.
