"Even if I believe that what I'm doing is morally correct and legally protected, legal processes still have a financial cost. I can't afford to take on that financial risk for something that I do in my spare time to help others." - this is very logical and exactly what I would have done but it still makes me very sad that this is the way the world works right now :(

As President Andrew Jackson once said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

As it turns out, you need both the piece of paper underwriting your rights and the force necessary to exercise them.

My freedom and financial future aren't the kinds of things I'd like to test their enforcement with. We need laws that prevent this type of bullying behavior.

You're back to square one: You have to exercise the laws preventing that bullying.

Lines of ink on plant fiber by themselves have never stopped anyone.

So why don't you do this then? The author doesn't have to be the one to take the risk: YOU can do it yourself! Just get a copy of the code and post it up on your own account, under your own name.
