I see that copy-pasting and using Sentry's name is, but if a competitor credits you, but still offers the hosted service, would you consider it evil? I have the impression that someone doing it would have a better image even with people loyal to Sentry: "well, these competitors here are not bad guys, just Sentry users like us, the only difference is that they are offering hosted Sentry for lower prices!". (I'm not talking about the legal stuff, I'm completely ignoring it)

Unless you want to maintain a fork we could very easily make life difficult ;) I don't have a concrete answer, but if it happens you just gotta work around it. Not much different than having a dozen competitors trying to do the same thing as you. I think it's very easy to see you, as a commercial business, wouldn't want to put all of your livelihood on a project that has 150k lines of code and you know very little about. That's obviously not true for every project, but if your project is so simple there's no reason I couldn't just reimplement it anyways.
