You published this under an open source license that allows anyone to fork and modify it as they see fit, as long as they include the license with their fork[0].

If they did so, then all you can (and should) do is stop complaining about other people doing what you gave them explicit permission to do.

The entire point of open source is that the code you write doesn't belong to you, it belongs equally to anyone who wants it.

Thanks for your comment. Taking that license into account, should be there a reference to my project on the other project?
I'm not a lawyer, but it does look like they need to include the original copyright notice with your credit.

Of course, if they do, then there's not much you can do.
