How else would you call stealing then? A Red Hat employee has grabbed my package and used it for RHEL - so far, so good. Nobody knows, whether this pexpect package from RHEL really works or whether it maybe is screwed up. And according to the RPM %changelog section, the last guy touching that package was me - that's wrong. So if somebody else touches one of my packages, the %changelog must be updated to reflect this. And if the pexpect package in RHEL is maybe fscked up, it indirectly blames me when somebody is then looking to %changelog while the Red Hat pexpect downstream package maintainer is responsible for that problem. As long as %changelog is not updated accordingly if somebody else is grabbing my package and maybe putting it somewhere else, I will call such actions stealing - independent whether it is our biggest sponsor or not.
