We open sourced Akash from day one because we want people to improve the network. If we're not doing a good job, I want the community to create better versions of Akash. That's the spirit of open source.
But when you use our code, we expect attribution. It is not only required as per Apache 2.0 license terms but a decent thing to do.
The goal is a decentralized cloud so that all of us benefit.
We will reach out to this company privately and give them the opportunity to do the right thing.
I will expose them if they don't comply.
There is a project that stole Akash's code and is launching a token to compete with Akash. Also, this is their 2nd token launch as first one failed miserably.
A part of me wants to expose them, but another says to restrain and let fate decide.
Should I expose them and risk giving them attention?
