Malus, which is a piece of satire but also fully functional, performs a "clean room" clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell software without crediting the original developers.
I’m told 8 times in this article that the project is “satire,” and yet, it exists, works (allegedly), and is making money by selling the product they claim to sell.

I believe the appropriate term is “Schroedinger’s douchebag” though in a more tech bro silicon valley way.
