Ah, but as a recipient, the arrangement with your code is the same as with your text: if you put something where I can get it, I'll modify it if I wish.
You may of course prevent me from distributing entire derived works, but not from distributing mere patches like the one that was posted for HATETRIS--- any more than you could prevent me from posting a Perl script that uses a regex to change characters' names in your novel.
Particularly amusing that a rant like this would come in response to someone modifying a game that was itself an unauthorized modification of another game.
