The difference is that they won't win in court. There's no law requiring you to make your open source work accessible - unless that open source work was part of a project for which you got federal grants.

Sorry, but it's clear that many commenters to this thread no almost nothing about what happened, and are merely engaging in outrage mania.

If the federal grant didn’t pay enough to cover making my project that I decided to open source accessible, I would still say f%%% it and take it down
