[guardian-dev] warrant canary

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I imagine EFF, Harvard Law's Berkman Center, and NYU Law had some really good
lawyers look at this before they endorsed it ;-)  It is uncharted territory to
some degree, in terms of courts.  But it sounds like those lawyers forming a
posse in case this does go to court.

Also, for those who don't know, Nick Merrill, the man behind Calyx, was the
plaintiff in Doe v. Ashcroft, which challenged the legality of aspects of
National Security Letters (NSLs):

I can't really imagine a better legal team behind this effort.  I suppose they
are missing an ACLU endorsement...
