How would this play out if you were a baker?

  It would work fine, bakers are allowed to cook at home.

    What about the baker baking at home and then selling his cake? Selling it to potential/ex customers of the bakery?

      Was the source code in question sold?

        No, it was given out for free, so competitors can take it and put it into their products for free.

    The analogy is a little fraught. If a baker bakes at home it's ostensibly not for public consumption. If you work at IBM you could literally code at home too. This is more like a baker baking things at home, and giving them away for free under their own shingle. That still lacks the nuance of software scalability and licensing but it's a little closer.
