I cannot but help noting that issuing ultimata on an open-source software 
development group is unlikely to win you advocates.

I should further note, in case you have not thought about it, that it is
rather foolish to discuss your illicit activities in a public forum. The
contents of this list are freely accessible to anyone, including the
company whose source code you're pilfering. If they decide to take action
against you, you have made their lives a lot easier.

Igor's response details our position very clearly.

I see no further need to debate this when there are other legitimate
development issues to be tackled here.
