I'm having a hard time visualizing how Lyle's motives are relevant to the situation. Even if he's using his power for evil...how does that change the situation? Alwyn still copied someone else's work, repackaged it at least once, and sold it for a premium at least once. At best you could argue that he thought he had permission to do this, assuming that he gave credit where it was due...which he didn't.
It hurts my feelings that any part of it occurred. If I fucked up doing my job then I could get my pee pee smacked...same as everyone else (I assume). If Alwyn (effectively) steals from another professional, profits from repackaging old material that he's already sold, doesn't take time to proofread\correct mistakes to make a professional product, and markets from a community that comes right out and says that they don't read the material that they're endorsing...then it's Lyle's fault because his motivations for calling them out on this might be in question?
