Fair enough criticism here, but this is a high schooler. Instead of coming on strong with HEY WHERE IS THIS AND THAT, understand that he "open-sourced" the project to learn stuff. So since I don't have the proper knowledge to explain the open-source license stuff, maybe you could explain a bit or point to a good read so he/she can continue to learn.

Open source isn't just code; the license you release under is equally, and perhaps even more, important than the code.

Did you even click the link? This was a 2005 high school project, so the author is 3 years out of college.
