Yes, Netscape is very lucky that Ian and David are students, and not criminals. I sincerely hope that the next time someone finds a hole in Netscape that it's someone who would rather win a free T-shirt than steal lots of money.
I hope exactly the reverse. It seems the only way the truth will get out and heads at Netscape or anywhere else will roll like they should. Consequences dictate incentives. No consequence, no incentive to avoid.
