Pays to be Chinese

Huawei blatantly sold network devices running Cisco IOS for years. Their manuals were "cut and paste" jobs where they copied content from Cisco manuals. Because of lax intellectual property laws in China, Huawei was never successfully sued by Cisco and are now partners with Cisco.
This poor chap... stole Cisco's IOS source code and is in hot soup now. I'm not condoning his crime but just highlighting that life is unfair.
