Isn't this how open-source works. Sure it sucks. However creators can pick a different license, like AGPL, if they don't want something like this to happen.
I saw someone on x/twitter post this:
Neovim is a fork of Vim which is a fork of Vi.
They were pretty clear in their repo that they were forked from Continue. I get that they were rather lackadaisical about the licensing, but that's kind of their brand, and they since apologized.
neovim didn’t seek VC funding and advertise as if they built their own editor.
The first text on neovims page is ”Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability”
Pear never advertised that they built everything themselves. They were very open about the fork
Vim is not a fork of Vi.

What are you trying to say? The link confirms what I said
>Isn't this how open-source works.
No, it doesn't! Open source comes with licenses that have various requirements.
