I would expect "absolutely no restrictions" to mean what it says.
An interesting question would be whether Jason is defaming the developers, claiming they have made an "unauthorized adaptation" and committed fraud?
The mobile devs were fully willing to make the changes he wanted (even going as far as to offer him money, which he refused), but when the changes didn't actually make a difference and a mistake was made (their release in China was missing the changes and he was still being asked by fans about the mobile port) he doubled-down on the claims of fraud and eventually submitted take-down requests through Apple and Google.
I don't think there is a path towards his satisfaction until he understands the implications of placing work in the public domain.

A year ago he seemed perfectly aware that he was giving away his control over his legacy. I wonder what changed since then...
