All I see are quacks about cars or political discussions and everyone's expert view on an article that they read in some magazine. The only thing that could POSSIBLY help them out that I see is source code. Well, don't distribute it to them! There's nothing here that they can't get somewhere else. I have never seen an article about how the stealth bomber works or anything secure so stop being so paranoid!
