Looks to have some validity but personally not too worried
about it. I would actually love to see the IOS as open
source. Would likely help secure the IOS in the long run.

Leak of code CiSCO IOS source code?
As it became known to SecurityLab, the source code of
operating system
CISCO IOS 12.3, 12.3t, which is used in the majority of
Cisco network
devices has been stolen on May 13, 2004. The total volume of
the stolen
information represents about 800MB in an archive file.
According to the information available to us, the leak of
fragments of
the source code occurred because of a break-in into the
corporate
network of Cisco System.
Representatives of Cisco System have not made any comments
about the
break-in so far.
A person whose alias on *darknet@EFnet IRC is "franz" has
given a small
parts of the source code (about 2.5 Mb) as proof.
Below are links to the first 100 first lines of source code
of:
ipv6_tcp.c:

ipv6_discovery_test.c:
