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.

Best regards,
Kern
