Why would you go to jail for selling a vulnerability? It's free speech.

Why would you go to jail for selling a vulnerability? It's free speech.
"Aiding and Abetting" crime is also a crime. Free speech has nothing to do with it.
"this vulnerability is being sold for research purposes only and must never be used outside of a tightly controlled research sandbox"
Has anyone actually been convicted of abetting a crime by selling a vulnerability, by itself, not conspiring with the buyer to commit a crime using said vulnerability? Not as far as I can see. It would be absurd to jail someone for accurately describing a bug.

It’s not. Same as credible threats are also seen as nothing to do with free speech.
It just isn’t what free speech is.
It’s a separate thing.

Telling someone the steps to rob a bank world probably catch you some charges, I'm assuming.
No, it wouldn't.
