I wonder if Teza even used the code Aleynikov took with him. If they didn't, would he even face civil penalties?

Punitive damages maybe, plus maybe contractual obligations on damages in case of breach. If they didn't use it, and if a civil case was purely based on damage caused (two big ifs), I don't think there would be much of a (civil) case, no, because there needs to be causality between the breach and the damages, which then there wouldn't be.

Still he could be done on theft of trade secrets & breach of contract and Teza could see what GS had tried what wored what didnt which is worth a lot.
