It's very similar to being on the receiving end of what purports to be seeking an acquisition. Both myself and my other half have separately been directly on the receiving end of the "brain rape" by major companies that everyone here will have heard of, both of which went nowhere except for the supposedly interested acquirer to become ever more angry that the crown jewels were simply not offered up on a plate. This situation is surprising in that he did get an acknowledgement at all. These companies are not good actors, and have a casual disregard for the IP of everyone else that should be immediately obvious.
