But the headline says:

"Goldman Sachs Steals Open Source, Jails Coder"

Which is a lie.

It depresses me that even HackerNews upvotes headlines they know are untrue, if it suits the cultural narrative.




The headline is a lie, but the other part - Goldman did not steal open source, because what is being given for free can not be stolen. (Moreover, if they didn't redistribute the code (which I assume they didn't, based on the article), they didn't break the OS licence either.)


It depresses me if people vote on headlines at all. People should be ignoring the headline - which is always flawed - and voting on the article.


It depresses me that you are up/down voting headlines and not the content. And keep in mind that HN has a no title change policy.
