I first downloaded it using the command "ncftp
ftp://ftp.i2osig.org/ver1-5.pdf" which produced no output. So when I
received the file I had received no notification that the file may be a
trade secret. Then I made it available publically for anonymous FTP.
People from several countries downloaded it from my server. I gave them no
notification of trade-secret status because I received none when I got it.
Now I have been made aware that the document may have been considered a
trade secret (although I still don't know that conclusively) it's too late
for me to do anything about it as I've already passed it on to lots of
people with no way of contacting them all (who uses accurate Email
addresses for anon-ftp anyway?).
I guess that everyone who reads the document will just have to use
whatever legal statements are included to determine it's status (I haven't
even read it yet so I am not sure what they are).
