"DeepDelver recognized that Pathways looked a lot like Sim.ai's open-source agent-building product called SimStudio and asked Delve if it was based on SimStudio. The Delve folks said they built it themselves, the whistleblower contends."
"DeepDelver then presented alleged evidence that this tool was actually a fork - a modified copy - of SimStudio, changed just enough to be passed off as Delve's own."
"Emir Karabeg confirmed to TechCrunch that he spoke with DeepDelver about the allegations. He told the whistleblower that Delve had no license agreement with Sim.ai whatsoever."
"Adding to the awkwardness: Sim.ai was actually a Delve customer, Karabeg told TechCrunch. Both startups were grads of the startup accelerator Y Combinator."
Delve faces serious allegations from whistleblower DeepDelver, claiming the startup misrepresented an open-source tool, SimStudio, as its own product, Pathways. DeepDelver asserts that Delve's tool is a modified version of SimStudio, violating the Apache software license by failing to credit the original developer. Emir Karabeg, CEO of Sim.ai, confirmed that Delve had no licensing agreement and attempted to sell an agreement to use SimStudio. The situation is particularly ironic as Delve offers compliance solutions while potentially breaching software licensing laws.
