Lajos,
I don't release the code simply because I don't care to. I understand the
GPL and you are correct that my code is automatically GPLed (something I
actually never thought about until I had to). Thus I had to make a decision,
clean up and release the code (so that I can wait for people bugging me how
to compile the sucker) or simply pull the code. Since I am not out to
benefit from the release in any way and I am not out for fame, going with
the second option was a no brainer.

BTW: There is a difference between "bugging" for the code and "bugging"
about violation of the GPL, where the latter a direct threat.
