TBH i'm not sure... a lot of these guys do just like is done in the
security industry... they have their closed groups that everyone is a
member of where they share certain data so that all may benefit... there
have been known AVs that were just taking other AV's engines and rules,
repackaging them and calling them something else... several of those were
caught outright... IIRC kaspersky's engine and rules was one of those being
used like this...

reverse industrial espionage? sure, i can see it... it is also known as
disinformation and is widely used... those companies that fell for the
possible ruses failed to throughly test their offerings... failure to
throughly test is an all too common failing in today's IT world... one only
need look at m$ to see that with all their security holes, buffer overruns,
heap overflows, stack overruns, etc...
