A place I worked at did it by duplicating and modifying a function, then commenting out the existing one. The dev would leave their name and date each time, because they never deleted the old commented out functions of course, history is important.

They'd also copy the source tree around on burnt CDs, so good luck finding out who had the latest copy at any one point (Hint: It was always the lead dev, because they wouldn't share their code, so "merging to main" involved giving them a copy of your source tree on a burnt disk)

Is it really stealing if you pay for it?

The "attack" is from the host side, any remote attack is theoretical and would depend on exploiting the software on the host first to then gain access to the BT chip.
