“Stolen” isn’t the right language to use for something that’s been intentionally made available free to anyone who wants it.

It's not the right language for copyright infringement either, but it still gets used.

Yes it is. Just because you're distributing your software for free, it doesn't mean you're implicitly giving others permission to
