At a friends house, it's vented to the attic. I know it's supposed to be vented outside, but it's been vented to the attic since the house was built in 1950 with no ill effects. They are going to sell the house sometime in 2018, and don't want to potentially get hit with a last minute thing from an inspection.

I would not worry until it surfaces as a problem.
If there is mold up there,

Interesting point.
In the OP, are you talking about the PLUMBING vent from the sink, toilet and bathtub, venting into the attic, or are you talking about the EXHAUST fan venting into the attic? That's two completely different animals.
I thought he was talking about a fan vent. I wouldn't vent a fixture in the attic. That sounds really weird.

I've seen it, as well has the vent pipe simply left in the wall going nowhere. I assumed plumbing since bathroom fans in the 1950's weren't that common. Mercury nutone fan was pretty much the only game in town and they came out in the early 50's.
If you shit out the window, you don't have to worry about flushing.
