>>It's only when acting under government direction that you should be immunized from liability.
Why? I 10000% disagree that the Government should be immunized from liability in the first place. This entire mess is a direct result of the NSA not being held accountable and hoarding Vulnerabilities.
Your reliance on government == good, everyone else === bad is alarming to me.
That said, I do not believe neither the government nor a Research should be held liable under the circumstance proposed in the hypothetical we are discussion.
I do believe the NSA should be required by law and policy to alert any and all software vendors to vulnerabilities they discover.
