This is stupid, how is it stealing your work I'd you document a file format or create a extractor and someone else uses it, why the fuck are you making it then?

Open source is for the benefitting everyone , being selfish like this makes no sense, and I'll be glad to not let that knowledge vanish into the ether because someone thinks their work that has been up for public access for years is suddenly "proprietary"?
