Yeah sounds like they hired you to clean their license violation. So in court they could say “of course our code looks like theirs, they worked for us” Sorry to hear you got screwed over dude. And thanks for posting for awareness. Take it as an early life lesson and put your passion to work elsewhere.
Reposting here explicitly because Hacker News (aka Corporate Leeches) took it down and said “It should have been clear there would be a ton of overlap or a relicensing at this point” after Hackcyom violated AGPL
That’s rough. I’d at least talk to a lawyer, but ofc securing housing and health comes first.
They wouldn’t win any meaningful monetary value from talking to a lawyer tbh
I sue out of spite tbh. Make the bastards fight for it at least
The guy went homeless, where is he gonna get the funds to sue for spite
They could call around asking for pro bono. The firms wright off the costs as charity, but they could still get some in legal fees from the opposition if they win. Tbh though i pay for legal insurance because i hate fraudsters like this, not it helps someone screwed after the fact.
