    That letter doesn't change anything. Theres a lot of law that says that
    is now public data, and free of it's trade incumberances. Sure,
    Infowarrior will take it down, but if this ever gets to court (unlikely),
    there is a very good public domain defense here, and both Cisco and ISS
    know it. So do you!
