stealing from GPL?
Kintaro:
Depends on the source i geuss.
sporkme:
oh come on, microsoft never stole or lied, ever, honest! nor did intel ever screw over amd and motorola and ibm and cyrix! i swear! and internet explorer was written in little ones and zeros by bill gates dog with a pencil shoved in it's asshole! it was something else, you should have been there...
o wait, they have all profited from unpaid talent and then rheamed them.
expressedly, the thieving corporations are the stink, but open source is the shit!
(if this is uniquely an american euphanism, being the shit is a good thing errrrrrrrr derp!)

Actually guys M$ DOES use open source software in the development process. Perl for example is used by M$ developers. They simply do not include ANY open source code in their final products. Its a case of using GPL'd "TOOLS" not using GPL'd code in your products.
Example(real): a M$ developer writes a Perl script to help him debug his C++ code.
Chew on that...read the GPL and see if you can find a hole....good luck
