isn't this violating copyright?

Is this real?

Unless it's true that they lost it, I really see no reason why HPE doesn't just release the official IRIX source code. It cannot be worth much at this point. Maybe there's 3rd party code which SGI/HPE licensed? That's apparently why we can't have Operas Presto.

As a long-time AIX admin I'd LOOOOOVE to see some of the AIX source. I used to be connected to the community where stuff like this was passed around. But that was a long, long time ago.

For me personally, IRIX 6.x had one of the most beautiful (and colourful) GUIs ever. For the curious, there is a guide (1) on how to run IRIX 6.5.22 in MAME. 1. https://sgi.neocities.org

Interesting that GitHub recognizes "Roff" as a language.

This leak has been floating around for years, and it's not even close to everything (i.e. no GUI pieces)
