Holy shit, what a read. How do people not understand open source licensing? In every license I'm aware of, you don't get to decide whether or not someone else can use your stuff. Nothing stops you from asking, of course, but it just looks bizarre. If you want to control distribution, design a license to do so, or don't release it in the first place.

Odd; the first comment I see from them explicitly mentions that he can't actually stop it due to the license, and it's just a request; per GitHub, that text existed in the first revision of that comment.

		Yes, I understand that. My point was that’s not how it works; if you want to be able to control distribution, don’t use an OSS license, because it’s just weird to ask someone to not do something you implicitly granted them permission to do.
