Not in the OSS world. GPL developers only have the right to facilitate, not to restrict. That is the nature of software/computing freedom.

"Not in the OSS world."

Actually, he still has the right to do whatever he wants, no matter how amazingly dumb, since he is still the copyright holder.
He can change the license tomorrow or add any number of crazy clauses and there's not a thing you can do about it, other than using the code that isn't under the new/modified license.

Except that at the time, he was using the GPL and as such, was restricted by the terms of the GPL.
