License doesn't allow you to do it

Who cares? The source is there. Do it anyways. DeCSS was technically illegal for ages in the US. VLC (not hosted in the US) still contained it to play DVDs.

"Not allowed" and "Can't" are two VERY different things.

There's a bunch of protections in fair use things that actually allowed or made that a very grey area, so end users could do it.

This is a bit pendantic, but GitHub's TOS allows users to fork your public repositories, regardless of its license.

You couldn't modify the new code under the dipshit license, but you can do whatever you want to the slightly older code under the good license.
