      Maybe not, but this entire sub thread is about trade secrets (which I think we all agree are not relevant here), and not contract law.

        Trade secrets necessarily have to be analyzed under the protections of contract law.

        Something can only be a trade secret if the purported owner of that proprietary information protects the confidentiality of that information, including through contractual restrictions. That’s why I’m talking about contracts when asking whether trade secret protections apply.
