When OSS code gets ripped off and people are mad: "Anti progressive luddites".

When closed source code leaks: "Copyright infringement by criminals".

What's the difference? There's plenty the world could learn from the source code of Windows or GTA6 and having access to the source of these large projects would move society forward faster. So why are OSS contributors protecting their rights "Anti progressive luddites", while the large copyright owners who guard their proprietary code like a dragon guarding gold are let off the hook?

You're assuming the person you replied to holds both those opinions.
