A thesis supervisor stealing from his own student and making a business/money out of it is lowest of the low. I don't understand these kind of people. What harm is there in crediting somebody for their work/contributions (especially when they are the main protagonist) even if you make money out of it through your "business acumen"? Where does this sort of mean mentality come from?
Speaking personally, i have great regard and respect for the folks who started the Open Source Software movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software_movement) and its progenitor Free Software Movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_movement). They urged/convinced others to join them with the result that Computing/Software became accessible to all (particularly in the developing world); "Software ate the World" because of their efforts.
