Ask HN: Someone raised money by claiming my project as their own
Throwaway for obvious reasons.
I built an open source project, licensed Apache. A startup raised more than 1M based on my project and forgot to remove the links to my site. A potential investor shot me an email telling me that the startup ripped my demo and is telling investors that they own the IP.

How should I respond? Is this common practice?
