But, for realities sake, let's avoid hypothetical's and deal with the
facts;

The code was stolen, it's been widely announced that it was obtained from
non-legal channels.  Now, back to my question;

how is this different from cquiring stolen property in any other context?

Thanks,

Ron,

My point was strictly an ethical one on doing an audit, and the application of Fair Use in such.  As I've tried to 
point out several times, the acquisition was a separate issue that I'm not going into.  I'll let you pursue that with 
others.

Cheers,
L4J

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
