The company didn't violate its own IP, for it sold and shared on free-will terms its own IP. The only laws infringed are related to what the state determined on its own terms about what IP can or can not be shared from a completely private company. What's unrealistic is to pretend to force that, since the product is intended for mass production and consumption. If the defence system of the state has specific technology it developed upon request and pays to own uniquely, then there would have been specific and very clear contracts in place and thus an undeniable violation of IP rights of the state. That's an actual thing and could and can and is treated that way even within the private sector. Why would it have to be any different upon arbitrary government terms on stuff it do not owns nor understands, when there are already perfectly defined protocols to deal with that exact situation within the private sector? Further, the unrealistic idealism is on thinking the government can deal with this better with absolutely no understanding nor skin on any aspect on the matter. This is outright arbitrary and pointless expropriation, a one-way path towards socialism if allowed to progress further. This is wrong everywhere.
