He used to frequent parties at a mutual friend’s place, pretty much bimonthly the friend would have everyone over and we’d trash his garage. Movies one night, Xbox halo lan another, big magic game etc. I haven’t seen him for over 20 years now.

He went by “Chocolate Mountain” then. Everyone called him that. Good times.

I’m poking people who know him to see if I can get something more concrete than “I think”, but IIRC he might have passed. He’s doing good, still posting to FB and stuff.

I love seeing this one pass by, everytime I can think, “hey I know that guy!”

That’s the power of GitHub. The fork still shows idolize as the author and clearly has gpl3 license (added by idolize). They can change what they want in the original repo, but the fork is covered forever, and ironclad proof of the licensing. If OP’s code is based off this fork, unmodified (of which it’s a fork, also ironclad proof it’s that gpl3 version) then it’s also gpl3. Saaaafe. This should be open and shut on github’s end, just a dumb DMCA report.
