I think the current title (i.e. including the word "Demands") is a bit more aggressive than necessary. IMO the Continue post is very sensible and even handed - the relevant sentence is "Our view is that PearAI should start over from scratch".
To be honest I also don't feel very good about the current title. From my perspective: the purpose of the statement was not to demand, but to protect the Continue community and show the way to open source done right. The alternative suggested above feels like a fair depiction
(Submitted title was 'Continue (YC S23) Demands PearAI (YC F24) to Start Over")
Start over the repo from scratch, not the code. This seems like paying too much attention to git history but apparently it's already being fixed anyway.
