But the headline says:
"Goldman Sachs Steals Open Source, Jails Coder"
Which is a lie.
It depresses me that even HackerNews upvotes headlines they know are untrue, if it suits the cultural narrative.
- DanBC 13y agoIt depresses me if people vote on headlines at all. People should be ignoring the headline - which is always flawed - and voting on the article.
- tomp 13y agoThe headline is a lie, but the other part - Goldman did not steal open source, because what is being given for free can not be stolen. (Moreover, if they didn't redistribute the code (which I assume they didn't, based on the article), they didn't break the OS licence either.)

- dfc 13y agoIt depresses me that you are up/down voting headlines and not the content. And keep in mind that HN has a no title change policy.
