Shocking!
Seriously though...being able to look at the source of something you're trying to build off of or inter-operate with is a Good Thing(tm). On the other hand, giving something you worked very hard on to your competition for free is a Bad Thing(tm). And unfortunately, in the current world, you can't really separate those two.
Personally, I think it should be perfectly legal to look at anyone's code and even mandatory that such code be released by companies, but it should be illegal to actually build it. Look but don't touch! Just like boobies. In fact, let's call it the Boob-Respecting Archetype (BRA) model.
(I am a genius, incidentally.)
