Your coming off as childish. Anyone can take your code and use it in whatever way they want. If you wanted to use a license where you keep ownership choose a different license.
If an investor will give them money good for them. If devs gives them praise good for them.
You gave the code away in the hopes someone would use it. Someone is.. you were the author to the first guy who took it. He is the author to the next group who forks.
It's like you came up with a joke and shared it. That person love it and retold it as his own.

Every other field seems to have a basic system of ethics in place when it comes to this kind of thing, I don't know what it is about the software industry that makes devs so shameless.
