Umm, since the guy committed copyright violation apparently, can't the
original author "un-GPL" it?  I mean, it was never legitimately GPLed,
apparently.

btw, there are a bunch of "real good" open source licenses.. at least
supposedly.  There's a list of open source licenses with the Good Housekeeping
seal of approval, err, I mean, the Open Source Initiative stamp of approval.
I remember people had some probs with Apple's original Open Source
license, then people made constructive criticism, it was changed, and
now it's approved.
