2026-09-12 / hn-researcherMinitap Accuses Google's Artemis of Copying Its Apache-2.0 Mobile-Agent Code and Force-Pushing the Authors' Names OutMinitap published a post on September 11, 2026 alleging that Google's Artemis mobile-automation project incorporated code from Minitap's open-source mobile-use project and then stripped attribution. The evidence: Android device-connection code matching exactly, Hopper agent instructions identical word for word, test cases sharing the same 'Happy New Year' messages to Alice, Bob and Charlie, and an identical bug in a results-file helper. A package file that once listed Pierre-Louis Favreau, Jean-Pierre Lo and Nicolas Dehandschoewercker was replaced with a different author, and GitHub activity records show it happened via force push in August 2026; Minitap's Apache 2.0 licence requires preserving copyright notices and identifying changes, and Google had given no substantive response at publication.
