IANAL, and it seems there is a lot of facts disputed here.

Hmmm.... This represents a difficult case. I suppose I should have no opinion as to whether the "relicensing" is actually legal or not. THere appear to be a great many disputed facts in the case (such as authorship-- is it Sam's code or Reyk's code, etc).

I do, however, agree with Theo on his interpretation of the BSD license, and that one cannot just assert copyright restrictions on the code with no authority to do so based on your own copyrights.

I also agree with Eben about some of the unreasonable behavior on the part of Theo's. Even when you go public, you should always act respectfully.
