To me, there's a grey area: publicly viewable code. I normally wouldn't think it's okay to take pictures of my naked neighbor doing yoga, if she's made even a gesture of covering up. But if she's stretching in front of a huge living-room window in clear sight of a main street-- hmmmm. . . it seems to me there's an implicit understanding that she's fine with her image being considered public.
I kind of feel the same about javascript. I actually have alot of JQuery trickery in some of my sites that would be very useful to my competitors-- if they had the wherewithal to study it. But I pretty much assume that they will steal it if they can, because it's so publicly visible.
