Nissan app developer copied code from Stack Overflow

Is code posted on SO under a license or something? I don't appreciate the wrong doing here --that the author of the app didn't understand what he copied is an assumption.

Yeah, I had the exact same reaction. Stack Overflow is used by a huge chunk of developers, so the headline isn't the least bit surprising.

This sort of feels like a "gotcha" -- a headline that's trying to make it look like someone got caught doing something wrong, in the hopes that the story will go viral.

They are also considering changing the licence for code although nothing has been decided yet: http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/272956/136647
