Copying GNU GPL code without licensing your derivative code as GNU GPL and publishing it where it’s publicly accessible, and then using your derivative code to generate profit for a corporation, is definitely theft. Just because it’s open source doesn’t mean you can just do whatever you want with it, the original programmer still has rights over the code they wrote.
