Source Code leaks, and programmer culture

I HAVE TO agree with one of our as always very intelligent readers: the windows source code leak is, in a sense, not a very big deal. Back in 1999, someone, a disgruntled OS/2 programmer is my guess, apparently released the full IBM OS/2 Warp 4.0 kernel source code into the underground. See the post here. Do I know that this actually happened? Yes. Did IBM ever acknowledge this officially? Not to my knowledge.
