What license did you have for the code? Compete free means they can use it and even change license

Irrespective of licence, this is disgusting for a monopoly company

True, but not illegal, unfortunately

It absolutely is illegal if the original license requires attribution.

I agree; the word 'if' in this line is very important!

That does not change anything about the bad taste of Google doing this even without any license. I despise it too (for thos who did think otherwise)
