The unfortunate thing about the case is that both parties are Internet natives and, Mehta especially, part of the startup ecosystem.

This, along with Google and others devoting employees like Neel Mehta to it should go a long way.

Money seems like a good incentive for most, although Neel Mehta did it of his own volition.

> Facebook and Microsoft donate $US15,000 to Neel Mehta via the Internet Bug Bounty program for finding the OpenSSL bug.

Apoorva Mehta started Instacart on his own and then got cofounders after YC.

Actually I think the Heartbleed vulnerability was most probably found because of this migration, as it was found by Neel Mehta of Google (and the Codenomicon guys).

The principle of adverse possession might apply if Mehta had somehow hijacked the domain records and used the domain for a number of years without Kneen noticing and acting to retake control.

The flip side of that is, that while Neel Mehta isn't due to become a household name, he is now quite famous in certain circles, and won't have any trouble finding a job if he leaves Google.

Arun Mehta wrote an essay called "When a Button Is All That Connects You to the World" for the book Beautiful Code (2007) about speech software designed for Stephen Hawking.

That's not what the article says at all: "Mehta made it clear he was interested only in the name and Kneen reconsidered briefly, even proposing some restrictions including a required payment if Mehta resold the domain.

But let's just say Mehta starts his "coworking" space.

Mehta when was your business started?" "2003".

Nobody is writing articles at Neel Mehta, the guy who discovered the bug.

Well, we know now that Chrome is switching to OpenSSL, so that's likely what prompted Mehta's discovery.

I don't think the system described in Mehta's article is this one, though.
