sounds to me like you shouldnt be open sourcing your project if you are thinking like that.

  OP is understandably frustrated since he believes a commercial project was created using ideas from his plans. Not all open source software is permissive licensed (e.g. MIT). I personally attach copyleft licenses (e.g. GPL) to my open source works because if someone really needs to include my code in their proprietary software, they should be willing to pay me for a permissive license.

    well, i understand the frustration, but what are the alternatives? i don't think there is anything Segment could've done otherwise. because, should Segment be publicly addressing to everyone of all their internal projects? how would we know which projects weren't already in development? and if expecting some NDA for an 'open source' project, that is just wishful thinking. btw, i too have submitted my app to them, knowing full well in advance that they would have every power to just take my ideas to do what they want to do with it. i did get a response email from them i think roughly 6 weeks ago, so that is something. but i'll say this. the idea and vision of the fellowship was grand and bold (something i wish more companies would do) but it was a bit disappointing to see it beeing poorly executed at the end.
