I wonder..
If you distribute this code via technical resources you are already publishing it, and all that this guy did was do "view source" and copied part of that as illustration. Isn't that permitted under copyright law?
It's been a while since I looked at all things copyright related, but I find the basis of this takedown rather tenuous.
On a related note, this takedown is IMHO exactly an indication that this guy was onto something. Time for the Streisand Effect to do its work while I get some popcorn :)
