Phil,

Probably.  I've received some proposals from people in which they get 
everything and I get nothing - that to me is unbalanced.

This is a reasonable analogy.

It is not so much that the data is secret, as I proposed it, anyone 
can have to connectron data for free for research purposes as long as 
they acknowledge the proprietary trace.

I'll think about security levels and tell you what happens.
