Unix trade secret

[John McNamee]

I know a university that allows the public to access their Vax. There
is a guest account with an easily guessed password. From this account
you can download the entire 4.2Bsd source code using umodem.

I'm sure AT&T could sue the university and win. The question is what could
AT&T do if Joe Random called up, downloaded the Unix kernel, and then put it
on a BBS? Sure they could sue this person and keep him in court for years,
but could they win?

Any legel minds on the net care to comment on this situation?
