It's due to improper escaping of apostrophes. What the user would have typed in that case was “Don't copy my project's!” but due to some conversions and whatnot over time it was eventually improperly converted to what you see there. Basically ' is a way of “escaping” or writing an apostrophe so it doesn't get interpreted as HTML code.
