They had no idea about open source software license issues. Not knowing better, they took ezjail to be open source and since most of the script was rewritten they put their own free license on it. When it was pointed out by users that qjail needed to give credit to the original author of the forked ezjail. This was done right away. There was never any intention to steal anything. Just a bunch of students trying to do something to give back to the FreeBSD community who made a simple mistake.
