Stolen... for a meaning where stolen doesn't actually mean stolen, right?
- cjohansson 5y agoCopied should be a better term I think
- theandrewbailey 5y agoThey're probably using the music and film industry definition of stolen (meaning downloaded).
- mooman219 5y agoI agree. I think "illegally cloned" would be a more accurate headline while still having as much clickbait as the author intended.
- GuB-42 5y agoThe source code is a trade secret, and it is not secret anymore, that's what has been stolen. If take the Coca-Cola recipe from whatever safe it is stored in, I don't think anyone will have a problem saying that I stole the recipe, even if Coca-Cola still knows how to make it.
