they seem like an asshole, but i don't get the allegations of code theft, they branched a codebase under GPL to integrate into their own GPL codebase which is perfectly fair game and the whole point of licensing your stuff under GPL.
Knowing nothing about the allegations, "code theft" of Free Software is still certainly a thing. It commonly comes in the form of stripping attribution and taking credit for other people's work. This is more common than you'd think.
oh if it wasn't attributed, it's a total violation of GPL
