Apple had leaned on Maynor and Ellch pretty hard

When I read Leaned on I thought they probably threatend a Law Suit under DMCA. Here's a Quote from the original Jurnilist who broke the story. Also A link to his updated blog.
"During the course of our interview, it came out that Apple had leaned on Maynor and Ellch pretty hard not to make this an issue about the Mac drivers -- mainly because Apple had not fixed the problem yet. Maynor acknowledged that he used a third-party wireless card in the demo so as not to draw attention to the flaw resident in Macbook drivers. But he also admitted that the same flaws were resident in the default Macbook wireless device drivers, and that those drivers were identically exploitable. And that is what I reported."
