Then he could just list it

I don’t have a problem with piracy but putting it under his name isn’t a good idea

Or he could have some clause in the contract that prevents him from bypassing the publisher for profit, or maybe he just doesn't want the game to disappear and has a clause that lets him give away copies so he's free and clear. It isn't necessarily piracy. You asked how he could do this, I'm just spitballing possible answers.
