Just to clarify this point, it was the other way around.
Someone working on a driver for OpenBSD was using GPL'd code privately
to inspire their development and accidentally committed GPL'd code to
the public OpenBSD repo. There was a simple fix, but there was weeping
and gnashing of teeth so the developer deleted it all.
Tempest in a teapot, in my opinion, and understandable response from
the developer.
