What do you really expect from them? Being vague isn't helping the situation.

- If you just want attribution and an apology, ask for that.

- If they dont know what you want, they may just remain silent.

It was probably a lower-level mixup, some programmer was in a hurry, had too many tickets under his name, and rushed out a solution. The company was probably unaware.

Making veiled references to some action you might take just means they will refer it to a lawyer, who will say, "Just keep quiet and dont change anything right away. It's unlikely he has an Oracle-vs-Google sized budget to make a case, and anything you say or do might work against you. Rewrite it as soon as you can think of another justification, and be sure to create an email trail for that."

If hurry means more than 8 months. I edited the post to include the date I contacted them (August 24, 2011). The writing style for the copied code vs additional code they wrote is inconsistent.
