I agree, there's nothing good about this, but I don't have as bleak a view as far as what this could do to open source. Why? Because it won't do anything to open source. It's not good. It's not bad. The only people in the open source community that will be effected by this are the ones that deserve to be effected - and those are the people that might use this code illegally. When it comes down to it though, I don't know anyone involved in the open source community that would utilize code that they don't have the right to utilize.
