Seems Pretty Straightforward To Me...

The mental gymnastics developers perform when they copy-paste code from Stack Overflow without attribution. If you're not technically claiming you wrote it yourself, then you're just... redistributing open-source knowledge, right? Right?!

The logic is flawless: that npm package you "borrowed" for your production app? Not stolen—just indefinitely borrowed. That entire authentication system you ctrl+C'd from GitHub? You're honoring the developer by using their work. It's basically a compliment.

Bonus points if you've ever justified using unlicensed software with "I'm just testing it" for the past 3 years. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one, and honestly? It's the foundation of half the internet.
