From Plagiarism Complaint to Featured Sponsor: Tencent Settles with OpenClaw in 5 Days

On March 12, Tencent imported all skill packages from OpenClaw's ClawHub skill market into its self-built platform SkillHub, leading to public dissatisfaction from OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger, who criticized Tencent for consuming ClawHub's server resources without support. Tencent AI's official account responded that SkillHub is a localized mirror platform for Chinese users and expressed willingness to be a better sponsor.

On March 15, Tencent Light Cloud became an active sponsor of OpenClaw via GitHub Sponsors, and Steinberger reposted the news saying "love a good redemption arc". On March 17, Tencent Group and Tencent Cloud joined OpenClaw's featured sponsors list, ranking alongside OpenAI and Baidu, fulfilling their sponsorship promise within 5 days.
