You wouldn't need source code to all software with full posting. You would just need to include a trojan in your part of XP. Any smart programer can obscure his tracks enough to get past suspicion.
Still, it seems unlikely.

Afroze further claimed that he and other members of the Al Qaeda organization have checked a number of malicious Linux kernel patches into various CVS repositories. Linux creator Linus Torvalds said Afroze's code would be reviewed, and that any "cool hacks" would make it into the next release.

I wondered where the "Burning Flag" and "Death To America" desktop themes came from. Sheesh.
