I'm a bit perplexed on your choice of words re. the TM of the AH-64 Apache, namely the use of "proprietary" instead of "classified"; I'm a supporter of the Open Source/anti-IP philosophy, yes, but not an extremist of it :) so, I think that the wording in the talk on the 2007 reporter incident is somewhat... inappropriate ? no, this isn't the word.... Unfortunate seems to convey better the concept (I'm not of English mothertongue...) because military secrets, esp. technical is a more than valid rationale for restricting the free circulation (whose is the essence of the IP issues) Sorry for the long explanation, but this is for the rationale of my question, why you have used this words, whose, as indeed explained above, I feel is unfortunate ?
