Subject: Analysis of CherryOS and PearPC code

I became interested in this whole debate recently and wanted to get to
the bottom of it all (in the interest of FD).  I did some simple IDA Pro
analysis myself, but I am wondering what other people here think?  Is
there any possible way CherryOS did NOT steal PearPC code?  And how does
an open source project like PPC protect themselves from harm like this
in the future?  I believe these to be important security-related issues
-- not to mention the fact that Maui's website has been getting hacked
because of all the fuss over it lately.  Can anyone shed some light on
the subject from another point of view which I am not seeing?

Here is a link to the IDA Pro analysis complete with screenshots:
