I think we're taking exception to the words "buckled" and "caved". He was being sued. He was, by the letter of the law, wrong, I bet. So he did the smart, correct thing.
Just because he was in violation of his contract/code of conduct/NDA/whatever with ISS and Cisco, doesn't make what he did morally wrong...but the words you've used tend to have a negative connotation, and some of us are up in arms about that, it seems. :)
Perhaps 'acquiesced' is a better way to put it? Really, it doesn't matter. We all agree, I believe. He stood up and said what he felt needed to be shared, despite Cisco's bullying and his employer's caving to the big C.
It might him in the future with some potential employers, but I am certain others will be happy to bring him aboard.

Hi zencoder,
I'm sure the guy won't be lacking employment offers...like we spoke about before...we can't be sure of his motives, they might not have been as altruistic as he implies...could be he was intending to leave anyways and wanted to place himself in the limelight to secure other opportunities...or just get his 15 minutes of fame...I tend to think he had some ulterior motive only because of how quickly he ' acquiesced '...
there were already funds being set up for his defense...by supporters and admirers...
the latest news on this saga...the FBI is investigating him for violating trade secrets...
