I work on software for finding things and summarizing stuff. We were one of those Apache 2 -> other relicenses a while back.
I can't really talk about specifics. But we all have a working imagination though. I think about it a lot. But I still do the job. There are good folks doing good things with it.
We knew spooks were all up in the phone network. They'd show up and ask installers to run them some cables and configure ports in a certain way. I was friends with folks who were friends with the installers.
