A Y Combinator startup sparked a huge controversy almost immediately after launching.
The startup was PearAI, an open-source AI code editor.
When people looked at its code they found that it was a clone of an existing project called Continue.dev .
As with many controversies in startup land, it was less about the crime and more about the cover-up.
Once criticism started to mount, Pear quietly capitulated by reverting the license to Apache .
A blog post titled " Y Combinator Traded Prestige for Growth " went viral and hit the top of Hacker News .
The post was edited to suppress the post from Hacker News , which is owned by Y Combinators .
The author of the post left out the detail about Pear's initial decision to do away with the Apache license: This didn't seem to do Pear any favors.
