Very interesting phenomenon: you can violate open-source license, and you’ll get nothing as a consequence.
YC should put integrity and ethics of founders as a key variable for funding.
This is hilarious naïveté! As someone else’s put that:
Unfortunately, that would probably get in the way of making money
Also,
This is the second time in less than a year something similar has happened.
Previously, a different YC company (Pear AI) copied Continue, changed the licenses, and “launched”.
I wonder if Pear AI is dead or pivoted, their open source repos have not been updated since May.
