IMHO, it doesn't matter how the quote was created.
What matters is Mr. Jobs said the quote. He said artists both copy and steal. He did not say 'create'. Can we agree on this?
And following may be common knowledge on HN but let me just bring them up for the benefit of those who may not know.
1. Remember the $350 bonus Mr. Jobs did not give to Steve Wozniak, which was rightfully Wozniak's. This bonus was profit from their very first join venture, designing board for Atari.
2. And before there was the Apple Inc. the Computer company, there was Apple Corps Ltd, of the Beatles fame. The name of 'Apple' in Apple Inc (the computer maker) was 'copied' without authorization from the Apple Corps Ltd (of the Beatles). There were multiple litigations between them over the name.
I really hate to bring these up with Mr. Jobs gone but let's not forget these things happened. He was a great figure no doubt.
