You can help stop the SCO attack on IBM and the Linux community. I'm looking for ways that Unix trade secrets may have been legally nullified.

I want to know if you have ever had read access to proprietary Unix source code (not just binaries and documentation) under circumstances where either no non-disclosure agreement was required or whatever non-disclosure agreement you had was not enforced.

I can't talk about how this information will be applied, nor by who. You'll have to trust me, or at any rate my record as an ambassador of the community, that it will be effective and that I will respect your confidentiality and not disclose any facts about individuals without their express permission.

To help, see my No Secrets page.
