What prompted this question was the Vanity Fair article about charges 
from Goldman Sachs against Sergey Aleynikov for him stealing open source 
code that Goldman Sachs tacked their own ownership onto.

http://www.vanityfair.com/business/2013/09/michael-lewis-goldman-sachs-programmer

The author did not site which license applied.

Maybe an injunction could be applied to Goldman Sachs. Who's the real 
thief here anyway?

Please let me know if the VF link does not work.
