Thanks, but it appears you misunderstood the question. I found a good source in a 1996 PLI book on Conducting Intellectual Property Audits (pps 132-137).

I was referring to clean room in the context of avoiding copyright infringement not software process improvement. A personal note on the SEI - having seen it bootstrap itself: The CMM was never supposed to be a certification measure.
