Yeah, but stealing would imply I took it out of the company. You're obviously not a programmer.
It's a different story when the "secret sauce" is calling hooks into a piece of code you wrote and debug symbols are there. It's just a matter of examining the call stack and what the compiler sees as input parameters. In Visual Studio, it's as simple as "show disassembly" and reading the assembly.
Furthermore, you're a serious dick for implying reverse engineering is theft. How do you suppose all those IBM PC clones got made? Reverse engineers, that's how. You don't know wtf you are talking about, so you should just STFU.
