Odin is certainly not stolen code - it's simply the tool Samsung distributes to partners to update firmware on their devices.

Also if you have a problem with Odin for whatever reason, you can use the OSS Heimdall - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265

It is leaked internal code never meant for public use. Technically more of a grey area than "stolen", but still a bit sketchy in a legal sense, although I personally would have more of an issue with the fact it's not really fully understood by the people using it (or anyone outside of Samsung, I believe).
