    you say that, but if that was the case why would ibm go to all that trouble to get an exclusion from the json user agreement clause “the software shall be used for good, not evil”?

        they probably do, just that we don’t get to hear about it until a couple of years have passed.

          No like i don’t think they’re still competent enough. Morally, sure, thry could be that evil.

          If, say, Denver needed that database, they’d do it before the check cleared.

          I dont think they could do it for a large country.

          They would want to, they would take the contract, ans it would hire so many subcontractors cut so many corners the end product would be unrecognizable.
