No, it's okay to fork it. Deliberately ignoring the license is not okay.


That's exactly what my comment said. (Although fulfilling the license doesn't mean he actually has to fork.)

In my opinion, he still isn't technically in compliance though since the license text says "You must...provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made." I could see this being issue if, for example, Mark Steve removed his code from github, then it wouldn't be clear what license the code was under.
