Maybe I’m looking at the wrong repos but both appear to be GPL-3 (or maybe it was relicensed back to original GPL-3?)

They committed the (presumably ripped off) repo yesterday, changed the license from GPL to Apache, and now have changed it back (presumably in response to this thread).

That's the author of this post talking about the other person changing their licensing to match.

Then rewrote the history and force-pushed so it never happened.

And now they rewrote Git history and that commit is dangling. Wow...
