    It was done of his own free will. Have you heard/read his public
    statement about it?

    "I think I did the right thing. It was pretty scary, but the real
    important thing was there was the potential of serious problem," Lynn
    said. "I did not think the nation's interest was served by waiting
    another year when a router worm would be a serious threat."

    [...]

    "I gave maybe 5 percent of the information required to actually do
    what I did," he said. "The first guy who did it is sort of in some way
    responsible for all the other people who do it."

    There was no added benefit to the public by posting that slideshow.
    Especially considering that the latest versions of the IOS are not
    vulnerable.

    In this case Larry has taken someone's free will and intellectual
    rights, and brushed them asside for his own cause to say "*** cisco".

    Good job.
