He can't. Even if he authored all of the code in OhMyFish/Wahoo, which maybe be the case, the OhMyFish folk can rightly use the entire source of Wahoo granted they comply to the MIT license, which they didn't hence the DMCA takedown:

    The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Yes, I was the one who initially noted that he didn't comply with that clause. I was wondering whether the original creator could retroactively revoke the MIT license permanently from the guy who abused the license.
