I appreciate the concern Jan and this was heavily discussed including through a legal counsel. There exist no source leaks as to my knowledge of IRIX 5.3's kernel at this time, you are correct in that we aren't starting from it. Unfortunately the inability of me or anyone we trust to satisfy or procure IRIX IP from HPE means all other channels have been exhausted. The only longshot would be if IRIX is sold to say, Xinuos. And if that happens, good luck at they seem as bad as Santa Cruz Operations/Caldera.

We are maintaining both a physical and electrical air gap between sections which enables the members to maintain a sanitized state. However everything involved in this project thus far is not delivering code. There is no documentation of IRIX that exists to discuss every kernel object and subsystem. If we don't do this, then it'll probably be a very long time before any interest is revived. Of course this could very much fall flat. If nobody's willing to contribute then it's very likely the project will stall and most of us will go on to something else. It's a situation however that I don't see being saved and we are explicitly against abandonment of IRIX. I receive no part of the money since I am primarily just the organizer and spokesperson
