I started college at UIUC in 1995 just after Andreessen took the NCSA Mosaic code and turned it into Netscape, and I remember several of the older CS students and TAs were miffed at him for doing so:

I’ve always taken that story as a sign that if you want to get rich in tech, theft (er, borrowing) is a surefire way to do it. Maybe Andreessen is jealous that someone stole the spotlight for the public good instead of private gain.
