"Fair enough. Since this was our first OSS project, we didn’t realize at first. We’ve now revised it. Thanks for your contribution."

We didn't notice that we copied your codebase, changed the name then pretended to have built it in four days?

Good grief.

This is the type of shit YC invest in? It has been like this for a long while. So fucking shady.

I blame Zuk. His slogan was "Move fast and break laws", later changed to "things" by his lawyers.

You can, but you'd be wrong.
