okay,  I hope I'm not breaking news here about the win2k source code
leak.  However, I also hope that you all display enough common sense not
to download it, even if you just want to gloat a bit at the comments.  

The vision of a set of cute lawsuits (SCO style) from MS targetted at
various OSS/FS projects with a wide range of assaults, where the
evidence is simply ISP logs showing an IP downloading said source is
pretty frightening.   

 Imagine the reprecautions for projects like
Samba, Gnome, KDE, and other technologies that can be seen as
"infringing" on some of MS turf. Its an easy, blunt lega weapon to weild
against whole projects, stating that all progress past this point is
only because you copied MS sources, weilding a large batch of patents,
tradesecrets and copyright infringement claims and slamming large and
wide.

  please, dont fall for the temptation.
