I think the word "steal" is wrong here, about as wrong as "piracy"
would be.  I'd rather not encourage the notion that copyright
infringement is in any way like stealing, it is based solely on
propaganda.

I propose something like:

    Since they are releasing their code for all to use, they don't
    want to see others build on their work without giving the same
    favour back.
