Sep 14, 2015 at 0:44 comment added Abhi Beckert I'm not aware of it being tested in court, but that's because issues like this are always settled out of court (with both parties grudgingly happy about the outcome). As long as their contributions were minor, the realistic worst case scenario is a settlement where the offending lines of code are removed from the project. If the primary developer of your project didn't own copyright to their own work then it could be a very long and difficult lawsuit and could go either way.
