I am curious. What exactly was stolen? Can you post URLs to your
original code, and to the evidence you have collected to support you

You may wish to reread the GPL. Its purpose is to prevent vendors from

At the SME level, my experience confirms this. I think multinationals
are too inflexible to take the ``risk'' (perceived or real) of
migration.
