my favorite one this year was from a Chinese router company that had to admit that "well um, we might of, possibly gotten some of our code from Cisco. One of our employees knew this guy who knew a guy, that might have given us some of the source code."

Haslam, Huawei's lawyer, says Huawei obtained the tainted software in 1999, from an unidentified man who gave a company employee a floppy disk containing the code. The employee understood that the disk contained software used by Cisco but didn't believe it was copyrighted, Haslam says.

Isn't that to some extent why some countries or localities require that foreign companies set up corps that are 50% owned by the locals? wasn't this the modus operandi in China? makes it very easy to transfer (steal) technology.
