Well, I don't know either of these two people, and I'm not saying that both are in the wrong... from what I can see, maybe *neither* is. When money is involved, people are much less willing to cut each other slack. If I shared what I considered proprietary work with someone and they went and made money off of it, I would be very angry, and might publicly say they stole my idea. On the other hand, if I developed what I considered to be my own ideas, marketed them, and a friend publicly said I'd betrayed and stolen from them, I'd be angry and hurt about that as well.
There's the old saying, you can be right, or you can be happy. For me personally, if I am able to recognize someone else's perspective, or forgive them for wrongdoing, I do. Not that I'm an angel or anything. I can't say I'm in either of the two C's shoes, so who knows.
