Answer: Larceny

Explanation: In simple words, larceny refers to the crime under which one individual unlawfully takes some personal property, whether tangible or intangible, of some other individual or business.

It was first implemented as an offence by the law of England and was applicable to all the countries which were under the British empire and remained in force of the majority even after those countries independence.

In the given case, Edith unlawfully took computer program for his own personal benefit. Hence we can conclude that he committed a larceny.
