Copying open source code in Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD tools?

  

Rafael Rivera found evidence that Microsoft's Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool may have stolen the source code of the open source project ImageMaster licensed under the GPL.

Windows 7 USB/DVD tools allow users to copy Windows 7 setup files to DVD or USB flash drives, while ImageMaster is a .Net C# program for reading, writing and CD burning.

Interestingly, one day after Rafael Rivera discussed the matter on the blog, Microsoft replaced the suspicious file.

Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool is very useful. It is a very useful tool for U disk/DVD installation and upgrade when you upgrade Windows 7.
