No.
don't think so. So why do you mind him
sharing his 'playground'?
Why do you think I should feel the same about both ?
Because of the things I have written and you didn't comment on :-)
You mean this:
You might argue that he better not published his
toying around. But then
again you possibly forced him to do so: Just imagine he gave a binary to
someone. Then by the license *you* have chosen for your code *he* is
*obliged* to share his code - no matter how good or worth publishing it is.
I did not force him to anything. Giving a binary to anyone is *his*
decision, not mine. And all that the original license obliges him to
do in that case is to give the sources the same person.
A 'fork' on github is a convenient way to
comply with GPL licenses.
'Convenient' is the key word here. Some people only think
of what's 'convenient' to them, everything else is too much
for their simple minds.
