People copying the works of others is nothing new, nor exclusive to software. While annoying, often times there's nothing you can do about it (unless you have a rock-solid IP case). I've had multiple copy-cats of my works, and instead of letting those guys live rent-free in my head, I just ignore them. Thankfully in all instances (so far), the copy cat hasn't overtaken my works in popularity/revenue.
