There was a rumor that Urmson stole code from the Urban Challenge and took it to Google, but Carnegie Mellon and GM never pursued a lawsuit. Or were you just being lax with your timeline?
- WillReplyfFood 9y agoIn the eyes of FOSS everyone in a company is a codethief from the public so nothing to see here.
- Judgmentality 9y agoThis has nothing to do with FOSS, it's more akin to what Levandowski did when he left Google and ultimately went to Uber. It's just a rumor though (and a largely forgotten one at that). I just found it interesting that this person may have nonchalantly unearthed it.
