Crazy to me that the people making this plagiarised code to make it happen, from the people they're accusing of "theft", and then when called on it they said they'd... open source their GUI, even though the GPL code is also present on their back-end and they're continuing to publish it. I think property rights are a sham, if we got rid of copyright altogether for code and art and everything else I'd be very happy. But if you're going to falsely accuse people of stealing when what you're actually accusing them of is copyright infringement, probably don't have your literal only production be a product of copyright infringement.

Property rights are not the same as copyright. Intellectual property is not property. Infringing copyright is not theft.

Right, it doesn’t permanently deprive the property holder; its more like trespass than theft.
