While he probably will never be charged or sued it does give a glimpse into the kind of persons who users of ScamCoin are being asked to trust with any coins they mine or purchase.

Thx for your contribution, that's the way how open source should work 
People contribute ideas or issues, so that the software can be made better
Btw. public software can't be stolen, you should use the correct terms...

Open Source is not public domain. YOU should use correct terms.
The license under which RealSolid obtains Bitcoin source code requires him to retain the copyright notice. People can contribute ideas, make derivitive versions (like ScamCoin) but they can't violate the license under which it was released. It is theft, theft of intelectual property.

Bitcoin isn't public software. It is "Copyright (c) 2009-2011 Bitcoin Developers". While the technical term is "copyright infringement", "theft" works just as well.

Yup, sure should have.
Bitcoin source code was released with a license clause "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.". Even though SolidCoin uses a substantial portion of the Bitcoin software, "RealSolid" has replaced all the copyright notices with his own. Shouldn't the original Bitcoin copyright notices be kept intact?
