Would GSM have been broken if the researchers couldn't have taken credit for it?
Yes. There would have been a very increased motivation for doing so by many groups who would benefit from being the only part who had the information.
Ah, but would you or I know that it had been broken?
That's exactly where the value comes from and why clandanstine groups in that environment can find funding for such adventure. In a more open market it isn't worth the hassle, just become an investor in the venture or commit industrial sabotage. Let them do the work, you reap the benefit. In an environment where nobody is supposed to have it then anybody is on top. Remember...
