nope. In these matters, the copyright holder basically owns your ass. We can revoke all rights to anyone we please. Copyleft is just good manners, copyright is the law. Remember this already happened: a fork of OpenBSD was killed by license termination in response to copyright misrepresentation - and, boy, does it take a special brand of stupidity to manage to violate a BSD license
That said, the Hostilix people have no shame and no fear; they are well-known copyright violators (their WinuxOS was a repackaged Windows 2000, wasting SourceForge's bandwidth too) and are doing their best to alienate us; they are a bunch of loser punk posers who embarass the whole OS-development scene. Let them get away with it, they are do-no-good hacks and nothing can punish them worse than simply existing. Hostilix will die naturally from the complete lack of any form of skill on the part of the pathetic clowns who conceived it
