While the author does react quite unprofessionally, there has been a commit adding the license to the required position:

OpenCart-CE is a community-edition fork, not the official repo.

The license is for calling two functions?

Is it really a function with a single line of code? O_o

A function can be licensed in the same respect as a class or library.

The reaction is far worse than the license violation. It really undermines any credibility the project for being "professional and reliable".
