Because the source of the -RC was released under GPL 3, it is my
understanding that they *can* use the code.
I don't see anything in the GPL license that covers seperate rights for
alpha, beta, candidate, or final releases of code.
Your call to Section 8 of the GPL requires him to obey Section 5.
It looks like they have released the derivative code under GPL 3 and
told people he used code from you on a particular date, thus satisfying
the modification requirements of GPL license.
He has also complied with chapter 22 of the guide by putting the
required paragraph here:
http://lz2hv.org/node/10 <http://lz2hv.org/node/10>
So, with respect, I am not understanding your message to the group.

Do you have a callsign? It's nice to include that on a list like this.
We're not particularly interested in litigating nuances of wording.
This is just a hobby, for all of us. We're just asking for fair play.
Christo, LZ2HV, understands perfectly well that our license and
copyright terms (which are separate and independent) include a
requirement not to publish derivatives of our work before we have
published the work ourselves in a GA release. He has flouted that
fair-play requirement. Again.
Most people on this list know I'm a scientist, so I'll use a scientific
analogy. Copying or adapting our code (which is still in development)
and publishing the result is analogous to entering our laboratory when
its door was left open, copying the laboratory notebooks found there,
and publishing the results yourself before the authors have even
finished their experiments. This is NOT fair play.
