you really dont understand do you? even massive developers like Insomniac gives out their source code to help other developers. The thing is the guy who made Aquatica didn't use it to educate himself like the purpose of released code but blantantly copy it and release the fl0w under a different title.

You really don't understand do you? When you release something as open source you lose all rights to it. That is it. You can ask people not to do certain things, but nobody has to listen to it. The vary nature of open source is that you're giving the code away for free for anyone to use and modify in any way that they see fit. That's the legal definition. You can ask them to pretty please not do it with sugar on top but nobody has to abide by those rules.
Like I said, releasing something on open source and not wanting it copied makes as much sense as protecting a secret by telling everyone in the world about it. Or better yet, it's like hoping people don't steal your life savings... and your securty scheme is to leave a stack of money in the middle of the street with a sign saying, "please don't steal me" on it.
