Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am not a lawyer, but I agree with your assessment. Regardless, the copyright holder does enjoy some rights. For instance, the right to publish (at least in some jurisdictions). The fact that such rights aren't simply restricted to code that has been merged into the VCS or shared over a mailing list etc., but also extend to code that may have never been publicly shared was surprising to me. -- Suhail
