To be completely honest, if you're smart, and focused on shipping product you really don't care and will find a way to steal while at the same time obfuscate to the point where no one will notice or care. I get there's a moral dilemma for some, and credit etc. comes into play, but I can assure you the people that are solely focused on getting $#!t shipped really don't care, and by the time they have to they will have either sank or have enough resources to handle it.

To add to this, I don't think there's any function really that I haven't had to customize/make my own... I mean add a few params, change or transform the output or even convert js to php or python.

I think I can maybe count on 1 hand the times I've literally copied/pasted and left it as is. Usually it's copying some config file for a laravel package or something because there were some changes and I'm combining them on an upgrade or something.
