Thats not an accurate analogy at all. These researchers presumably utilized MIT resources extensively while being paid by MIT specifically to conduct research in addition to other duties. Without MIT or a similar host institution their ability to conduct research such as this would have been severely constrained. In fairness a better title would be "MIT researchers turn Wi-Fi...", and it would definitely have been good to mention the researchers' names earlier.
