Possible Windows source code leak

[LooseCaboose]

SCO doesn't have a leg to stand on,

Yeah, the case has been quite funny to watch. One of the segments of code that SCO claimed that Linux had stolen was a piece of public domain code for a malloc routine that first appeared in one Knuth's book somewhere in the early 60's.

The problem with the SCO case (and potentially if Microsoft claimed that OSS stole from leaked Windows code) is not whether its true or not, its the damage that is done from the allegations. Comapanies that were looking to switch to Linux when SCO first started making claims, shyed away because the outcome was unclear then. SCO are still putting out enough propaganda to scare away some potential Linux customers.
