80 lines which they released to public domain, which was published twice in books, one of which had no restriction on code reuse.

Their derivative works stuff is  BS.

And again we see them trying to cloud the issue.  It's not theft that's being alleged, its COPYRIGHT  INFRINGEMENT, which they have done NOTHING to stop (if it ever existed).
