Did you really just assert that having Swartz post to LessWrong puts SIAI at serious legal and financial risk?
Good grief. You said, 'Aaron's achievements of type X are really awesome and we could use more achivements on LW!' Me: 'But type X stuff is incredibly dangerous and could kill the website or SIAI, and it's a little amazing Swartz has escaped both past X incidents with as apparently little damage as he has*.' You: 'zomg did you just seriously say Swartz posting to LW endangers SIAI?!'
Er, no, I didn't, unless Swartz posting to LW is now the 'actual track record of achievement' that you are vaunting, which seems unlikely. I said his accomplishments like JSTOR or PACER (to name 2 specific examples, again, to make it impossible to misunderstand me, again) endanger any organization or website they are associated with.
EDIT: * Note that I wrote this comment several months before Aaron Swartz committed suicide due to the prosecution over the JSTOR incident.
