I'm not a lawyer, but for what it's worth, it sounds like they're defrauding their investors while actually complying with their legal obligations to you; the Apache license allows copying, and deploying code to a website (without sharing the code itself) isn't even thought of as "distribution" in copyright terms.
So I'd be surprised if you have anything personal to gain from pursuing this, other than the karmic payoff of seeing cheaters be punished.

- jacques_chester 12y agoThe Apache 2 license has attribution clauses.
- cjbprime 12y agoThe attribution clauses in Apache 2 apply to notices in source code, when redistributing that source code. The company using OP's code is presumably not distributing his source code publicly at all. They're just using it to power a deployed website. So an act of distribution as defined by copyright and the Apache license has not taken place, so the attribution clauses do not apply.
