I read the title as Address Resolution Protocol, then thought it was odd that they would call him the "founder" of a protocol.

The US exports variants of a lot of military hardware for sure, but it still keeps the cream of the crop tucked away, such as the F-22.

Don't think for a second the US military hasn't planned for having to wage war against a country that it's outfitted with it's own technology. Many exported items have reduced capabilities, and lack the communications systems that allow information sharing between all military assets. Information at the front line is what wins battles.

I disagree. I'm sure they have some cool toys, but they are not even in the same league in terms of overall military capability as the US. Their military is very specialized to deal with their specific circumstances. The US can conduct full-scale warfare anywhere around the globe, in the air, sea, on land, or in near-earth orbit.

Probably not the strict definition, but they are looking for information from employees they can use as leverage or in a lawsuit against the organization.

I don't know of any public references, but I can confirm this is happening to government entities as well. Oracle is being extremely aggressive and mounting what is essentially a phishing campaign against organizations that it sees accessing the extension download page. They are e-mailing employees directly and asking them to contact Oracle.

He's measuring altitude with the onboard Barometer. Adding GPS to this board would make it highly problematic from a legal standpoint.
