BetaNews reports that the Windows 2000 and NT 4 source code is coming from Mainsoft.
The leaked code includes 30,915 files and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes. Dated July 25, 2000, the source code represents Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.
Analysis indicates files within the leaked archive are only a subset of the Windows source code, which was licensed to Mainsoft for use in the company's MainWin product. MainWin utilizes the source to create native Unix versions of Windows applications. Read on at the above shown link.

"...and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes." Ofcourse Microsoft PR made it into something they could use against Linux. Almost make you beleive in the conspiracy theories that this was deliberately so they could "pull off a SCO", and now they can even blaim it on OSS. |
