Armchair quarterback -- the critical bit is what was in
the book and the source Intel first cloned.  Also if an engineer took
a class from Andy.  Engineers at Intel eading one of the book editions and
deciding to
download the source... sets the stage in my mind.  The FISA court cannot be
permitted to
hide illegal actions...

There are multiple versions of Minix and multiple copyrights included in
each.
Most have a disclosure requirement as a minimum.
