Linux Guru Reiser Seeks New Murder Trial (Wired)

Sorry, I think you are just being silly. Any code that Reiser contributed is open source. We can look at the code. To think that there is 'some taint of a murderer' that is going to imperil patients being operated on by equipment which uses his code is plain sensationalist nonsense. Might make for a bad attempt at a Edgar Alan Poe type story but that's about it.
