That article just doesn't hold water. So what if the code was copied?
From the code comparisons as well, they just don't map one to one in a convincing way.
What's worse in my eyes is that I placed g4u under an Open Source license. Not the GPL everyone seems so fond of nowadays, but the BSD License which I find easier to understand and follow - and which protects software authors' intellectual property equally well.
So would he prefer it if a company took his code, started using it in their own products, started selling it and gave him no credit? That's what the BSD license implies.
