10 days ago I did a Show HN post about a Chrome extension to speed up YouTube ads, which was open sourced under MIT license.

A member of HN who is also the admin of a developer community saw & commented on the project. Rather than support it as a contributor, they functionally copied it, created their own Chrome Web Store posting and shared it on r/webdev with zero acknowledgement or inclusion of the original MIT license.

I've documented in detail the whole experience.[1]

They now have an order of magnitude more traction with 10k+ users.

Although I'm happy that our project now has contributors it's hard not to think any work we do won't just continue to be copied.

Any advice would be appreciated.
