It used to mean that, but the term's lost its meaning a long time ago, unfortunately.

People can't even bring themselves to use the distinction for Waymo/Uber and Levandowski.

Not sure what you mean about Waymo/Uber. Are you suggesting it’s just an act of poaching as opposed to theft of tons of coincidental intellectual property and industrial espionage?
