If the developer wanted to 1) motivate a fork, 2) maybe abandon the license under the guise of "he dare not reveal himself for the purpose of enforcing it", and 3) still keep the TC-hugging ciphernerd throngs willing to use the forked software by suggesting an alternative so unpalatable, then he might take actions like we've seen here; and the results might be that he could 1) come out of hiding as some "new" project lead, 2) license it differently, and 3) have a huge, loyal user base. This means he might now be able to participate in funding campaigns like the Audit's and make money from licensing it to, for example, commercial enterprises, without generating too much outrage.
