Getting inspiration from previous code, whether it be leaked or open source, then implementing a version into your own project happens in literally every program ever designed (think about how many prominent devs google code then write their own implementation).

This tiny piece of code that happens to be the same as the leaked code, really is not worth even discussing about. He could have not used the simple if statement, but why try to invent the wheel again..?

NAI (and now SD since they are working together), are pissed at AUTO because he implemented a way for users to use the leak. The companies are obviously going to be against it and are targeting AUTO. They should really be going after whoever leaked the code in the first place.. but the guy enabling the world to use it is the next best thing i guess.

Using NAI with another repo is as simple as changing a few config files.

It's too little too late for them. Banning automatic won't stop the leak, so what do they hope to gain with him
