let's not freak out - you can't "steal" open-source code, they used an incompatible license. that was accidentally too free.

people monetizing something you open-source isn't stealing.

They cloned (not forked) the repo, removed the history, claimed it as their own, and changed the license. This is not a mistake

My open source project was relicensed by a YC company [license updated]
