Trade secret allows them to go after anyone who improperly disclosed the secret. The information can be used by an innocent third party with impunity. I'm a software engineer who happens to have a law degree (I make my living writing Linux based software) and I'm think about filing a counter suit and/or class action on behalf of all parties who would benefit by using the info who will be chilled by this lawsuit. Any potentially interested webmasters and/or developers who would be interested in participating in such a counter attack can drop me an e-mail at dvd@firm.com.
