Their claim is simply incorrect. Copyright does not protect ideas. Claiming that they can infect ideas with the GPL is bizarre and deceptive bullying.

Which is valid. I've seen sleazier academics just CnP things without attribution.
- pmeunier 6y agoI'm the author. I've been asked to review results of mine in the past, taken form arxiv.org and resubmitted by senior academics. I've also seen partial reimplementations of Pijul, from the source code, with a different license, which is absolutely clear.
- Ygg2 6y agoI've heard of cases where people just ripped off parts of another's work as PHD. I've never heard of someone submitting stolen work to a fellow he stole the work from. That's some A level chicanery.

In fact, you most likely don't ever get to know who the reviewers are because the process is anonymized. But given that many areas of scientific inquiry are highly specialized, it isn't particularly surprising that if you rip off someone's work, that someone is going to be picked as a reviewer for your paper by chance.
