We've stepped up with 80 direct lines of code and derivative works that amount to thousands of lines - and we're saving the rest for the courtroom.
  How many clothes does Winona Ryder have to steal before it's not OK? You get to a certain point where property rights are either valuable or they're not.

 

80 lines which they released to public domain, which was published twice in books, one of which had no restriction on code reuse.

Their derivative works stuff is  BS.

And again we see them trying to cloud the issue.  It's not theft that's being alleged, its COPYRIGHT  INFRINGEMENT, which they have done NOTHING to stop (if it ever existed).
In brightest day, in darkest night, no evil shall escape my sight....
