Indeed. Kyle's comments were clearly without basis in fact. Saying that you aren't bound by the terms of the license because you didn't download the code, your co-worker did, is no different than saying "hey, look at this! A copy of the Linux kernel! Now how did that get here? Well, I didn't put it here so I think I'll ignore the terms of the GPL." Best of luck on that logic.
