yacc: public domain?

[Kurt Guntheroth]

Remember there is a class of UNIX(tm) users who are not routinely subject to
non-disclosure agreements, using systems where access to sources is not
typically restricted.  These users are college students and professors, and
hackers who break into these systems as well.

Can AT&T make a strong claim that these sources are a secret in view of the
probability that any given software engineer could have perused them at
length as a student?  Does the trade secret act deal with the legality of
some hacker breaking into a university computer, taking accessible
information, and using/distributing/publishing it?  Doesn't the
non-disclosure agreement only cover non-disclosure of information you could
not easily obtain elsewhere?

Go for it oh legal eagles.
