Honestly, I think you're over reacting - the usual reason to fork is to 
make changes and then submit a PR - if someone was more interested in 
theft, then it would be rather easier (and leave less of a paper trail) 
to hit the download as zip button and go from there.  And of course once 
your code is open source then it's "out there" anyway,

Just saying... John.
