A sentence of roughly one to three years' jail is expected for a man who sold source code for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty in a US federal court to selling Microsoft source code over the Internet.

Actually, irrespective of whose code it was, if the relase of it could jeapordize the computing safety of hundreds of thousands of users, yeah, losing 1-3 years of his life seems a good way to make a point.
Either way, he did not have a right to sell it (it was not his 'property') let alone release it to anybody (again, it was not his 'property').
