(1) Add an explicit copyright/license/reuse statement to the code to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. While not required, it's wise for people who care about the copying of their work.
(2) If he cares enough to enforce his preference against reuse, he should then send a DMCA notice to github/etc.
From what I can see, both people are a little naive about copyright. The mature resolution isn't fuming back-and-forth, but to just learn and implement what the law already provides.
On the other hand, if the real goal is to instead have an attention- and inlink- and traffic-grabbing web feud, they can each boost their fame/infamy by a few more rounds of mutual criticism in every forum that will have them and their supporters. For this goal, the more emotion/insults/ad-hominem, the better.
