Huawei has a long history of “borrowing” IP & source code from US companies

As have Anthropic and OpenAI.

please define "borrowing"

I read a book and learned something, did I "borrow" or "distill"?

I read info from a website without their consent, then learned something, and now I am teaching that knowledge to others, did I "borrow", "steal", "distill" or doing piracy be selling it?
