"Steal" seems to be a slightly strong word. It looks like it's open source and just missing the license.[1] I'd prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt rather than jump straight to accusations. [1] I didn't look

It looks like she held the record for just three of those months. A month before Harry Hong took it back, a guy named Neil Gewirtz took it from her with a run of 2349 lines. http://www.twingalaxies.com/scores.php?scores=1485

Odd. I could have sworn I checked before I commented. Maybe I was the one mistakenly on Amazon.ca. I apologize for the error.

If you're asked to sign one when you're hired, the consideration is the job itself. If you're asked to sign one when you leave, depending on your contract, any severance package might be considered consideration.
