"We deliberately release some code as open source" is very different from "everything we write is open source and a random engineer is free to independently do whatever they want with it".
Oh no, they've been dragging the court case out for years. His employment at another firm was suspended when the story broke and he's been in and out of court and jail ever since (convicted, appeal, overturned, new charges, etc) from both NYS and Federal courts.
Last I heard, he was given time served, but the founding partner of the firm - who was his primary legal counsel in the case - was trying to get that conviction stricken from his record as well.
Hey, serious question but off topic from the thread:
You used the word "what" where we would normally use the word "that".
I've heard this done during speech numerous times from everyone ranging from fluent native speakers to learning nonnative speakers. Was there a specific reason you did it here?
Sorry. I am non-native speaker so very likely I am wrongly using 'what' in place of 'that'. After you mentioned I am feeling 'that' would be correct usage.
Emphasis on a British dialect. There are many and most (by geographically area) don't use what in that context. Except for emphasis e.g. The way Jeremy Clarkson says "an ..." where he shouldn't.
