TIL Richard Stallman stole source code from Gosling EMACS, replaced the license headers with his own, and integrated it into his #GNU #EMACS. Over time he eventually replaced all the original code, but only after initially replacing the license headers first.
Why wasn't he sued? How do you sue a homeless man? What do you sue him for?
