Well, imho, he deserved no less...

(And three years supervised release.)

You think stealing Nokia, Sun, & Novell source is worth 5 + 3? While worm authors get 0-3 years?

(I'm not sure how long a worm author should go down for. I do think Kevin got more time than was warranted. But then, I helped briefly on his defense team and he's a friend of mine, so I'm biased.)
