Assuming a violation of the license terms.  The reason for getting
competent legal advice is to *avoid* that.

If he *can't* release some of the source - maybe he used some
proprietary components that are part of the whole thing, not all that
unlikely if it's aimed at the commercial soft spot that is Windows -
then he has no choice but to stop distributing until he can rearchitect
around using Fabric and get an rewritten product going.  That can cost
a lot if it turns customers away.
