Yeah if the folks somehow copied code (hacking etc) there may be some grounds. Again this is black belt legal stuff. You beat me to it - especially after that whole GvsO case APIs getting copyright is also very tricky it feels to me.

> This happens literally all the time. I wouldn't recommend someone be a founder if this upsets them. No half-decent innovation isn't instantly cloned by 10 fly-by-night copycats and multiple large incumbents.

+10 - My only point here I wasnt sure why being a female founder mattered whether you could/should get angry. Getting angry is reasonable - just that what you do next and how you pick yourslef matters.

It makes me angry because they often claim how much they support FFs and diversity. In reality, it's all BS.
