100%. Is someone is going to be shitty they deserve to be called out front and centre. If they just copied the program and shipped it as their own that speaks volume as to being a bad person and I would not want to collaborate with a person like that. If they took the open source program and truly made some great additions to it and improved it then that would be a different matter. Pretty sad to not give credit to the creator of the program. Call this guy out in my opinion as well.

Maybe he's afraid of getting sued.

My whole point was "hey thats not cool" that you copied me especially since you run a thousand+ person dev community. His rebuttal about wether or not it was legal, or violating the license etc. sort of misses the substance of the argument. To me it was a moral issue not a legal issue [1].
