If only everyone follows ddevault's advice and starts each project with AGPL, that way no company can steal the code.

So it’s stealing to use a license you don’t like?

As an outsider, your posts throughout this thread come across as whiny, entitled m, and thoroughly self-serving.

No. Using a pushover license instead of the AGPL is like not locking your door, and using other people's free work in your own non-free product is stealing from the commons.
