Of course, if the code had come from Windows then Microsoft would call it "stealing".
And all the same people calling this a "theft" of code would be decrying that Microsoft is using the word wrong. The point is that it's hypocritical to use terms in a way that you would claim is wrong for someone else to do.

How was their a theft of code? Did the original developers have all accesses to their code taken away? Secondly, there is nothing mutually exclusive about taking responsibility for not properly auditing code you take in from secondary sources and also pointing out who was the originator of the infringing code.
So what? They were his bosses and the owners of the equipment. He had no right to refuse them access to their own property no matter what they could have and would have done to fuck it up.
