Wait, how's it masquerading as what?

The name is very similar to the GPL software Duplicity, and the license is not a free software license.
While I'd agree it's similar, it's not the same.

Public projects on GitHub do not need to be under an open source license - there is absolutely no requirement for that anywhere.

Right, I was just explaining the "masquerading".
It's a derivative work of, at least, an LGPL[0] and Apache2[1] project, but does not include any copyright notices or attribution at all.
