Why did they go closed-source for the 64-bit version?

> Menuet64 is closed source because M32 was forked and new copyrights just slapped at the beginning of practically all 32bit source files (multitasking, drivers, GUI, networking..) without any permission. You can take a guess about the country in question.

How does that make sense? That has always been and will always be possible with any open source project. Should every other project go closed source too just because Russia can fork it and say "I made this"?

Closing down the source was likely an emotional, rather than a rational reaction. The author simply got pissed and didn't want this to happen again.
