> Also the funding should come with a clause to cover this sort of behaviour

Lol if you’re not aware, they came up with the gold standard in simple seed investment contracts used by nearly every pre-series-a startup in existence. Adding clauses like “don’t fork open source code” is just pointless and cumbersome legal bs that does nothing but get in the way.

Less "don't fork opensource code", more "don't bring shame upon the family".

This is bad press for YC as much as it is for this poorly thought-out startup.
