I still wouldn't call it stealing, but I guess "broke open source code licenses" doesn't have the same impact, but I'd prefer accuracy.

It’s piracy, distributing copyrighted works against the terms of its license. I agree stealing is not really the right word.

Distributing it would be one thing, but profiting off it?

I think it makes the most sense to think of it like stealing the way plagiarism is stealing.

I wouldn't call pirating stealing either so
