Forbes.com: Net file-swappers snap up Windows source code
by Balls Deep at 2:28 pm EST, Feb 13, 2004

Well more windows source has been leaked. Let me tell you whats going on. Microsoft leaked the code, right now they have some programmer contributing patches to the linux Kernel, and 6 months from now they are going to sue redhat and the rest of the linux community because some of their code ended up in the kernel. Really, I have seen the memo that has been circulating around Redmond.

There are a lot of people discussing such conspiracy theories on Groklaw right now. It sounds pretty certain at this point that it was leaked from a company called Mainsoft -- developing UNIX-to-Windows porting tools -- and they got owned through an unpatched wu-ftpd.

[ Interesting theory. Hopefully the Linux folk are being *extra*, *EXTRA* careful about who's contributing patches. Because getting screwd by MS would be double-plus-ungood, a lot. -k]


There is a redundant post from Abaddon not displayed in this view.
