Comment on Code theft: Asciimo: Where have I seen this before?parent

Comments

The original code had no license, thus without asking it is code theft. If you publish something somewhere, without stating otherwise it is © you and IP you. If someone picks this up, without asking for permission, works on it (moreover says it is shit and makes fun in the first comment in a post where you complain) and then says it is theirs, it is IP theft.

Disclaimer: I have no relation with the author, but I feel very upset by this, because it could happen to anyone who has pet projects like this.
