Ian, That was a big bite. In general, I agree on all except the above. If you found the secret part/method on the car it is yours for the taking. Unless it's patented of course. And in the patent you are required to give up the "secret" for long term protection. This is by American patent law and patent laws vary from country to country. The developer here has one year to file a patent or his intelectual property is gone forever. The standard non-medical patent will expire in twenty years. The developer can opt to keep it secret but is at risk if others can find the non patented secret.
