Yes, theft of code is serious, and the lawsuit shows that Bacula Systems takes it seriously. However the response of Mr. Aussendorf, posted to LinkedIn, after he received a copy of the complaint: "Yes, we've received it. It's very big sophisticated FUD but still FUD. We are currently preparing an answer." doesn't sound to me like he is taking it too seriously. === In addition to the theft reported by Bacula Systems, there is the problem of plagiarism that I mentioned in my letter to the community. The main Bareos developer continues to move files from one location to another while making some changes, but also stripping the copyright and the accreditations and adding the Bareos copyright. This is continuing even as of a few days ago. This is probably another form of theft but is I think more properly called plagiarism and copyright violations. I believe it to be bad for open source as well as for Bareos' image. Unfortunately, for the moment, I don't know how to stop it other than posting publicly.
