3D Printable Quadcopter Hits Kickstarter

[3rdeyepro]

Hello,
I am the creator of the Hovership MHQ. I have been in contact with Hai who has created this Kickstarter. He claims he drew all of the parts in Autodesk Inventor. I give out the SolidWorks source files on the thingiverse page. There is no way to prove he didn't perform some conversion process between my sources and his.

However, he sent me all his files. This photo sums up how close his design is to mine. My base plate in red, his in black. He changed some of the cutouts and parts of the main shape but all the mounting holes line up perfectly.

When his Kickstarter first launched there was no mention of Hovership on the page. It wasn't until I called him out on the infringement of the non-commercial creative commons license that he started backtracking. His new story is that he made the parts compatible but yet still drew everything from scratch. It makes no sense why he would copy my design so closely instead of coming up with his own. Yet he still doesn't credit me for creating 75% of his design.

Another issue with his kickstarter is that most of his rewards are reselling off the shelf parts, which is against the kickstarter guidelines: https://www.kickstarter.com/rules/prohibited

I was about to release V2 of the MHQ design but with acts like this abusing the license it is making me think twice about being so generous.
