Wasn't this leaked years ago?
The normal practice for dissertations, is to publish them.
I gather that Patriot U. did not follow this practice. They allowed access, but only with some sort of non-disclosure agreement. I'm not sure of the details, because I have not followed it closely.
Yes, there has been earlier commentary by people who have had access. I am not aware of an earlier full public release (or leak).
