Do you suggest that they've used your findings without referencing you? You can make an inquiry I believe. Other than that, if their method is completely different or they've arrived to the same solution independently - there is nothing wrong. It is not about the competition who was first, isn't it?

I think that in this day and age we ought to have a way to share knowledge so that we aren't repeating the same (completed) research unknowingly.
In maths it is thought to be beneficial to come up with a diferent proof of the same theorem though, so maybe in computing the similar idea that coming up with another implementation/demonstration/proof has value too
