I think it's always important to give credit where it is due, but was any of the code proprietary or guarded in any way? Was the mistake in failing to give credit, or was it using code that they weren't authorized to use?

Complicated to say since I'm no expert. Technically, they weren't authorized to use it because they did not include attribution.
