We've been giving them crap? the PFY asks.

So does that mean we're giving our clients a break? I ask, rhetorically.

It would've got sent to the bloody sewer system anyway, the Boss replies.

If I so choose to release my products to the public domain, so be it. However, if you take something which is mine, which I created, and give it to another well that's theft! "
