Sequoia v. Ed Felten

It helps to consider that there is context not mentioned -- New Jersey voting officials,
clients/users of these machines, seem to be all in favor of having them independently
analyzed, by Ed Felten.  We should be applauding this, because NJ is then doing the right
thing.  Sequoia is attempting to prevent this analysis, on the basis of their contract with
the New Jersey county in question.  

"IP" is being used here to chill the investigation into the operation of the tools being used
for our democratic process, by which the governance of the republic at all levels is
determined.  Secrecy is being invoked by the tool-maker to prevent external view of what the
tool actually does in a variety of conditions not constrained by the maker.
