I agree that it was a dick move from his side. Fork his project, or use an older version. I am not convinced that him breaking his code is something that ought to be punished.

GitHub gets the right to close their hand while Marak doesn't.

I see it more as attempt to protect against another similar action. Not so much to punish as in "teach him" or "get revenge".
