This is what every modern Cease & Desist should look like

https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409

Disclaimer: I am a Shopify employee.

Backstory: Shopify.com was recently ripped off as Shopqi.com – the job was pretty impressive! They copied our brochure, wiki, theme store, and from the look of their Rails app, a good chunk of our domain models too. Nice to see the Chinese version of Active Merchant as well.

The author of the ripoff posted the source on http://github.com as open source: https://github.com/saberma/shopqi

Tobi, Shopify CEO, decided to make a pull request in response.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Seriously though, the backend can't possibly infringe on your intellectual property right?

Can you explain what is going on here? With no backstory, the page you've linked is completely incomprehensible.

TLDR: Chinese clone Shopify and put it on Github. CEO writes pull request to delete the entire project instead of a Cease & Desist.

I'm thinking that shopqi developer's blog really isn't sponsored by EngineYard or RailsKits either.
