What Do I Do About My Ex-Employer Stealing My Free Code?

An anonymous reader writes "I recently found out that the company I used to work for is removing all the open source licenses (GPL and MIT) from my work, distributing it as proprietary software and taking all the credit despite the fact that they contributed nothing to it. They are even renaming it something really silly. What should I do?"

Sounds like the same fucktard I ranted against earlier. I paid to put myself through school working in a large pool hall in Winnipeg (murder rate at the time was close to Detroit's), next to the 'high track' (red light district with the more expensive girls) and not far from the 'low track' and central park where the crack dealers worked. I would see hookers come in a lot. Some did it because they liked the money. An awful lot did it because they got roped into drugs and were abused. I remember one pimp telling another that he had to smack out a new girl because she got proud that she could get a guy off twice. He said something along the lines of he slapped her out and told her if the guy spoofed twice, she had to make him pay double. I didn't care much at the time. But an older me (like now) might be tempted to call the police if I thought something would get done about it. But this AC is the type who would argue that if I did, I'd violate the girl's right to be abused. But he wouldn't see it that way. Left wing fucktard.

Live life from the armchair and tell everyone how they should do things because they know better. Go out and see the shit that happens. See blood from shootings cleaned up from the sidewalk in front of where you work. See guys you kick out one day followed in by the police the next day and arrested for a murder they did hours after you kicked them out. Listen to the single mothers congratulate another single mother for getting pregnant again because she would be able to get 800 dollars a month more than she does now from welfare. Or the other welfare victims who brag about being on the dole for 20 years... until his girlfriend ratted him out (lol). Fucking leftwing fucktards don't know shit about what really happens. They howl about abuse when the suggestion that people on welfare should help with civic duties like street cleaning etc for at least a few hours a week. Most left wing fucktards haven't seen a hard day in their lives trying to tell people about exploitation. What a crock of shit. They are kind of like environmentalists. You know environmentalists don't you? They're the ones who already have a cottage in the forest but don't want you moving there too.
