It *is* stealing to take something open source, modify it, and not share the changed source.
They also (according to Prusa) reverse-engineered the entire Printables website to create their own clone and stole a bunch of models, too.
Open source *isn't* working as intended when companies take it and don't give back. It destroys the community and "economy" of FOSS, and turns it into a one-way (and soon dead-end) street. We've been fighting this battle for a quarter century plus now.
