I wrote DARPA too around a week ago and got no reply of course. I can't tell I am surprised though. Could Cal do anything against the rip-off, or is his patent and any copyrights already expired, and there is no legal way to force them at least admitting it is not their invention? I agree that contacting the US Gov department that financed the project may be appropriate - there may be surprised if they see they paid almost $3 millions for an invention that was in fact done and patented almost 40 years ago by someone else and then stolen by the contractor. On the other hand, such contractors are often good friends with those distributing the grants, so it is quite likely the information would fall on a deaf ear anyway.
