Bloody hell, I've been plagiarized!

I've been mostly out of 2300AD gaming for a good while, concentrating on writing, so I've only just realised a roleplaying article I wrote years ago for the Etranger 2300AD site turned up in issue 7 of the Colonial Times fanzine on Drivethrurpg under some else's name (Krijn Mout - never heard of him). The arrogant sod does credit me for 'support', but it's overwhelmingly my text. (Actually crediting me helps establish the copyright violation, so is an act of stupidity).
It's a freebie fanzine, so they haven't made anything from it, but I'm not having my work out there under someone else's name and it's doubly a problem as the bookending fiction text is a character I've always meant to return to and I need to establish that I'm not plagiarizing them if I do so.
DrivethruRPG can expect a rocket from me shortly in the form of a DMCA takedown notice.
(And it's doubly annoying as I was looking forward to reading the article!! Hang on, this sounds familiar...)
