SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
If you take a look at the source of these two packages, they're obviously related. The exported API is the same, the comments are mostly the same, and if you take a look at the commit history of fluentui, it turns out that Microsoft was originally using Levi Thomason's keyboard-key package. The commit where they forked it is here:

My question: is this kind of blatant copying and then reassigning of copyrights by megacorps legal? And if not, is there anything we can do it?
