2114 - Summary/Objective
2115 -
211501 - Follow up ref SDS 29 0000, ref SDS 28 0000.
211502 -
211503 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Morris saying he might be able to help in
211504 - a meeting with LANL, responding to my letter, ref DIP 12 0001,
211505 - yesterday asking for his support, based on Cliff Joslyn's letter,
211506 - ref DRP 10 4895, saying he wants to see SDS capabilities, and the
211507 - meeting may be pushed to early June, rather than the week of May 21.
211508 -
211509 -     [On 000520 letter from Cliff at LANL pushes meeting to late June
211510 -     or early July due to fire. ref SDS 30 0001
211512 -  ..
211513 - My letter to Morris asked about advisability and whether it is
211514 - standard practice to use a non-disclosure agreement, ref DIP 12 4823,
211515 - when showing proprietary capabilities. ref SDS 29 5214
211517 -  ..
211518 - Morris says...
211519 -
211520 -     The purchase agreement can include any restrictions you desire.
211521 -     ref DRT 1 3392
211522 -
211523 -        This does not offer any clues about what restrictions might be
211524 -        proposed.
211526 -  ..
211527 - Morris continues...
211528 -
211529 -     If you don't provide the source code, there is limited amounts
211530 -     they can do with a system.  It is very hard to regulate residuals
211531 -     someone has in their head.  All you have for protection is trade
211532 -     secrets, and you can't patent, or hold secret a business method
211533 -     very easily.  Once a secret is known, it is no longer a secret.
211534 -     You have been disclosing the concept to people for a decade.  They
211535 -     can always "re-invent" SDS once they understand what it does.
211536 -     ref DRT 1 2576
211537 -
211538 -        This analysis reflects the letter to Morris, ref DIP 8 0001,
211539 -        on 000425 explaining that SDS is a secret. ref SDS 23 1674
211541 -         ..
211542 -        Morris reported on 980722 that SDS is difficult to reverse
211543 -        engineer, ref SDS 7 3744, which makes the design a secret that
211544 -        can only be discovered through using SDS according to the
211545 -        design, as explained in POIMS. ref OF 6 SV5J
211546 -
211547 -           [On 000723 Cliff Joslyn visited and observed SDS being used,
211548 -           and Cliff has seen SDS foundational documents on the
211549 -           Internet, along with many records; Cliff disclosed he is
211550 -           trying to develop an SDS-type program an LANL, but they are
211551 -           having difficulty making progress. ref SDS 31 1312
211553 -            ..
211554 -           [On 001219 Matt Placek with Wegener Engineering in Flordia
211555 -           offered to purchase SDS. ref SDS 32 0001  Later on 001231
211556 -           Matt disclosed that Wegener's objective was to obtain SDS to
211557 -           study trade secrets for developing new products. ref SDS 33
