The above isn't totally clear to me - whether "yes" was meant as my
cooperation, and where "he" refers to me handing over a copy of the code...

To be clear, I have nothing to do with "getmail6"; it's a fork.  As long as
they abide by the terms of the license (GPL v2 only), that fork is allowed.
Whoever's behind it has never contacted me; I only found out about it from
other mentions in my mailing list.
