I don't know much about this codebase and I am probably one of the dumber people on this site (that's ok, I'm happy and eat well), but take a closer look at some of these commits: https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/bf67ece35... Just dd a promptfrom one object and p it to another. https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/c59d90a4c... change a keyboard shortcut lol https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/489004ae0... manually set font size in 3 places but remove the variable that would still be valid in 2 places??? https://github.com/trypear/pearai-submodule/commit/9bbee4c3d... made an error message longer Now to be fair I've never been paid 270k by coinbase so presumably these guys are a lot smarter than me, but I'm still really confused why they got funded.
In Pear AI founder: We made two big mistakes
Apache doesn't enforce copyleft, so the Pear authors can license whatever changes they made to Continue with any license they want. What isn't ok is to change the license of the existing code. They seemed to have corrected this since[0]. I think it's very hard to argue they didn't comply with the Apache license in this case, especially since the license is technically included in the forked git history. On the surface this just seems like it was a naive and sincere mistake. I doubt that the Pear people were trying something nasty. It also seems one of the founders has a fairly popular YouTube channel, so he's probably aware that this sort of nothingburger drama is great for business if handled competently.
