"Hi Andre, I'm Max from Google's open source office.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've stared at both repos, and we're having trouble finding any actual copy/pasted code between them.
We don't strip license headers or change code licenses intentionally. We always aim to respect open source licenses. If we made a mistake here, please help us fix it.
It looks like GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-gemserver depends on gemstash existing, but we can't find any copied code. It doesn't appear to be a fork.
We'd really appreciate it if you could give us pointers to the code you think was copied from your project, so we can fix it."
Whoever used a throwaway account to get this onto the front page of HN, less than an hour after that issue was posted on GitHub: that was an irresponsible and wrong thing to do.
