Unless you don't copy the license terms, it's impossible to "steal" open-source code. That's... sort of the point.

Papermark is AGPL; Corgi must release all its changes.

That means they're not complying with the license terms. Which would be stealing. Like I said it would be.

Many open source licenses levy restrictions upon the acceptable use of the software. Those restrictions may include attribution requirements, up to and including a requirement to include the license when redistributing the code; they may forbid using derivative works for commercial purposes; they may require the downstream project to utilize the same license. Open source is not the same thing as "anybody can do anything they want forever."

Copyleft is still a thing. Right to attribution is still a thing. Please, read about it and you will discover that there is a lot of nuance to the open-source code.

So we're in violent agreement then?
