Is there a way to file lawsuits for such cases? These incidents lead to death of open-source and crush hearts of open-source developers.

Seems like this would be a pretty open and shut case of copyright infringement.

Pursuing something like this would perhaps cost more than 200k in the US. And then the startup would likely just fold and you get nothing in return.

Hire a lawyer to send a legal notice. Costs practically nothing and since it's an open and shut case, free money for the lawyer (if they charge based on damages), or the startup caves and shuts down.
