the source code to System 7.1 has semi-recently been leaked onto the net WHAT? When/who/how/where? Details, expound, elaborate, please! This news missed me.
edit: here is one brief discussion.

Well, it was pointed out to me in a thread about something else on the Mac68k forums and I have no idea how complete it is, but the link is http://www.toddp.com/classic/Software%20Install/Apple%20Source%20Code/System%207.1%20Source/ .

There may not be all of it to compile a complete OS, but there might be enough of it to update specific parts of the OS.

For that, at the end of the day, you're still building a flawed, tired-old design on a sunk foundation with questionable legality.
Building a new OS is interesting, especially if it's not boring old POSIX, but I question the guy's intent, platform, and capability for this.

I guess thats what they thought when hobbyists updated the Apple GS/OS to a slightly later version.
Why are you on this site again? I forgot to ask...
