Isn't this how open-source works. Sure it sucks. However creators can pick a different license, like AGPL, if they don't want something like this to happen.
I saw someone on x/twitter post this:
Neovim is a fork of Vim which is a fork of Vi.
They were pretty clear in their repo that they were forked from Continue. I get that they were rather lackadaisical about the licensing, but that's kind of their brand, and they since apologized.
- sva_ 2y agoVim is not a fork of Vi.
- MeetingsBrowser 2y agoneovim didn’t seek VC funding and advertise as if they built their own editor. The first text on neovims page is ”Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability”
- spencerchubb 2y agoPear never advertised that they built everything themselves. They were very open about the fork
