Oh come on ! Any creative+commercial industry is full of clones. From movies, to music, to books, to ...whathaveyou. In any of these, once a 'formula' is proved to work, you'd get clones by the bucket-loads. In almost all of these the capital invested in really doing something different and creative is much higher than in the software industry. One just has to accept that a. You might get imitated if you are successful b. The imitation might get more successful than you Why is the software industry so full of whiners !?!
