Claiming that some open source code is really proprietary is pretty bold. I suppose they could prove that by releasing their code, but to me it smells like they've been using open source code without attributing it for a while. And now they're trying to solve this problem by taking down the original.
Honestly, an assertion that open source code is really stolen seems pretty easy to prove wrong.
