Is Oracle aware of this kernel leak for Solaris 11?

As Phoronix announced a couple of minutes ago, it appears that a snapshot of the kernel source code for Oracle's Solaris 11 operating system has been leaked on major torrent and file hosting sites.

Searching "solaris11.tar.bz2" on Google, Softpedia can also confirm that the bzip2 archive of about 104 MB contains the source code of Oracle Solaris 11's kernel.

Being a closed source operating system, Oracle is probably trying right now to delete the leaked Solaris 11 kernel archive from aforementioned sites.

The Oracle Corporation announced the Oracle Solaris 11 cloud operating system on November 9th, supporting the security, scalability and performance requirements of cloud-based deployments.

Oracle Solaris 11 brings features like the ZFS filesystem, virtualization capabilities, comprehensive management, "secure by default" features, cloud-scale life cycle management, SPARC and x86 certified.
