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.<br>
<br>

<br>
The author did not site which license applied.<br>
<br>
Maybe an injunction could be applied to Goldman Sachs. Who's the
real thief here anyway?<br>
<br>
Please let me know if the VF link does not work.<br>
