What's the problem?
Seems like the West Yorkshire police used information provided by FTS to produce their own software. No one owns the copyright on the location in memory of valuable data. If anyone has any claim it'd be the mobile phone operators calling it a trade secret.
Sounds like FTS has just been naive and thought the police wouldn't have the right or the inclination to use it in ways FTS hadn't considered. What they should have done is made all recipients agree to not reuse the information like this before shipping them the trial.
Very interested to see the result on this. I doubt FTS has a chance.
