Google copied our open-source code, removed engineers' names without credit (https://www.reddit.com)

Surprisingly many people in the linked Reddit thread seem to think that open source license means Google can re-license the code and strip the author info.

Which is the one thing you absolutely cannot do.

Sounds like they need a good copyright lawyer.

It seems like an open and shut case, and I hear this Google company might have a few $$$ to pay for a settlement ...

We were blaming Bambu Lab, but apparently Google is no different.

We are beyond this now, if you complain, they can have an agent rewrite it and then it's not copied anymore. It doesn't matter and the bigger wallet wins, let it go.
