Hey, thank you for your suggestion. I tried to read the license and if I'm not mistaken, they need to attribute the copyright to the original project, no?

It appears so. I have not personally gone with Apache before so I am not an expert.

For better or worse, your license is as good as your wherewithal to enforce it. This is a matter for your lawyers.

Yeah, that's probably true. I'm just an indie dev looking for a job and bringing lawyers into this probably wouldn't make sense for my situation.

I understand and empathize. At least the bad behavior doesn’t affect your ability to buy groceries and you probabaly have a better understanding of the bullshit in online discussions of software licenses.

People argue about licenses as if there are software license cops. There aren’t. Having money to pay lawyers to enforce your license is a reasonable reason to develop paid software.
