This isn't really an RPG thread so this'll be my last post on the matter.
The case I was involved in did not involve the original copyright holder at
all.  The original copyright holder wasn't even aware of the case!  A
disgruntled ex-employee turned in the company for using copyrighted code
within their software without attribution or permission from the original
copyright holder.  That company is now defunct because they didn't go to the
trouble to ask for permission and keep it on file.  The amount of code was
roughly the same as the strsep source we have seen in this thread.

In the legal system, technicalities are everything.
