- Don't waste time complaining if you don't want any action to be taken.

Appreciate the intent to take right actions. There have been a number of commendable replies too. One from, I think it's Roland Wilson, brought to mind a point worth considering. Jesus had no problem pointing out the wayward and corrupt nature of the religious leaders of the time and being public about it. How in this case that position would be applied I can only think of the violation of original content. Trying to sell something that has been in the public domain for some length of time is not only a deception but also corruption. As someone else pointed out, deleting the comments appears as strong admission of guilt. Otherwise it is too difficult to make judgment on being unaware of the code being around for any length of time.
One further comment. It appears you recognized the error of passing judgment on others being in an information bubble. As you admit later, we all are. There is certainly no lack of information all around us today. Without some regulation it would most certainly be overload. We all need great discernment to sort truth out of everything that comes at us and that we discover. If such discernment is to be real it must refrain from being arbitrary. Based on absolute truth, the arbitrary has no standing. You have the right and responsibility to point out error based on what is true. Assigning it as judgment on others is a slippery place and in many places something that is reserved for God alone.
As for feeling ridiculed, I think you know of someone who suffered more. So thanks for making an attempt. Live in His blessing.

My first reply attempt got censored. Admittedly it got lengthy. It was called spam. In much shorter comment, I wanted to point out that Jesus was unashamed to point out the corruption of the Pharisees. May be worth pondering.

You might want to be careful: not everybody here shares your religion and in accordance with the message at the top of the page it could be counted as trolling - which will get you kicked off the site.
It doesn't take a lot to annoy some people, and religion tends to be a big trigger point, particularly when it's present in all your contributions so far ...

OG,
Thank you for the courtesy of providing a response for why my post was being considered as spam. Your comments to the OP's question had good considerations.
My post was in response to the Christian world view that the original poster expressed in his comments. This view, which was the basis for the conundrum of how to handle a moral issue was expressed in the original poster's second post. His second post followed your response to his first. For reference, the OP had difficulty with someone else selling code that was already public domain, the moral issue. Additionally, there was another poster who identified themself as an ashiest. That person had some good points to make despite what I think of their world view.
Again, thanks for the follow up.

The OP didn't mention any religious worldview: morality is not dependant on any degree belief in any religion! 
And trust me, not all christians have any discernible moral fibre whatsoever - the ongoing fun-and-games with the Catholic church and child abuse indicates that. But that is a discussion for a different site ...

OriginalGriff,
As you have noted, there are bad players within what can be considered the Christian realm. However, a bunch of bad actors fails to taint the whole crowd. We will find this true in almost every institution. That said, I am assuming that continuing the discussion on this part of the forum is acceptable. I say that because I have a question.
If morality is not dependent in religious belief, in your understanding, from where do standards for morality originate?

This is starting to edge towards the kind of discussion that isn't allowed here as there are "better sites" to cover it, so I'll stop it there.

It is German adoption into English

I doubt that.
The English word for the German "spiel" is "game".
The English spiel means something entirely different.

Kinks are good. Old school Brit band. Listened to their songs on car radio on the way to the drive in.
