From Plagiarism Complaint to Top Sponsor, Tencent Completes OpenClaw Reconciliation in Five Days

According to 1M AI News monitoring, on March 12, Tencent bulk imported all skill packages of the OpenClaw skill market ClawHub to its self-built platform SkillHub, triggering public dissatisfaction from OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger, who criticized Tencent for heavily consuming ClawHub server resources without providing any support. Tencent's AI official account later responded, stating that SkillHub is a localized mirror platform for Chinese users and expressing willingness to "become a better sponsor."

On March 15, Tencent Light Cloud officially became an active sponsor of OpenClaw through GitHub Sponsors. When sharing the message, Steinberger commented, "love a good redemption arc."

Today, the GitHub Sponsors page was further updated: the Tencent Group account (Tencent) entered the Featured Sponsors list, ranking first in the featured area; Tencent Cloud also rose to the top, sharing the spotlight with OpenAI and Baidu. The statement from March 12 about being willing to "become a better sponsor" was realized five days later.
