No, not even close, and this shouldn't have to be explained to you in 2017, but oh well. Tomatoes, basil, apples, etc, are not intellectual properties. You aren't infringing on Green Giant's property and rights by growing your own tomatoes in your backyard instead of buying their product at the grocery store. That you think copying a developer's digital code is no different than growing your own oranges is baffling.

No, not really. What you've done here is piracy."
