It's especially distasteful when we consider lawsuits like Epic vs Silicon Knights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Knights

> Silicon Knights had "deliberately and repeatedly copied thousands of lines of Epic Games' copyrighted code, and then attempted to conceal its wrongdoing by removing Epic Games' copyright notices and by disguising Epic Games' copyrighted code as Silicon Knights' own

> following the loss of the court case, Silicon Knights filed for bankruptcy
