The solution is to fork the project and give it a new name & URL so users don't knock on his door - he refused that option too! Kudos to the maintainers for their curtesy - they didn't have to ask him for additional permissions over and above the current licensing agreement - they have the rights to redistribute or fork the project, Frenck is against them exercising either right.
From the profile https://github.com/frenck He describes himself as "Slightly assholic at first sight. Actually a nice guy that just likes to get stuff done." Very fitting description actually, I wouldn't argue with such a nice guy.
