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.

And they've now orphaned that commit, they're a sketchy bunch at best.

Unfortunately, sketchy is generally rewarded.

I'm starting to sense a pattern with this project.

They've squashed the history to hide their earlier "error". This isn't compliant with section 5a of the GPLv3[1].

"sketchy at best" is a polite description of this pattern of behaviour.

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