I believe, a person who acquire state documents from official source - but communicate it without authorisation - and compromise Nation security ---- will have infringed the OSA.

But i believe a person through his insights - has understood and propose something that is useful for the Nation - which subsequently being adopted by the State - is not infringing OSA.

  Eg. This is the official poem山不在高，有仙则名；水不在深，有龙则灵
  
  
  意思：山不一定要高，有仙人居住就成为名山了；水不一定要深，有蛟龙就成为灵异的水了。
  全文翻译：
  
  　　山不一定要高，有仙人居住就成为名山了；水不一定要深，有蛟龙就成为灵异的水了。这是简陋的屋子，只是我的品德高尚,就不感到简陋了。苔痕碧绿，长到台阶上；草色青葱，映入竹帘里。谈笑、来往都是学识渊博的人，没有知识浅薄的人。这里可以弹奏不加装饰的琴，浏览佛经。没有奏乐的声音扰乱耳朵，没有官府的公文使身体劳累。南阳有诸葛亮的草庐，西蜀有扬子云的云亭。孔子说：“（只要住的人品德高尚）这有什么简陋的呢？ :-
