Policy on unsupported hacks?

What is the policy on a mod for vb 3.5 that is no longer support and the author doesn't come around? I have fixed some issues with it and would like to release it. Someone tried to release it for 3.6 but that one is unsupported and buggy also.

You could post the fixes in the original thread. But you must have the authors permission for releasing a new one

Thats kind of the problem. They don't come around anymore.

Sorry, but that's how it is. Whether they visit or not, they still own the code, you cannot copy/release it without permission.

Yea I figured that. Thats why I asked first. So who's permission would I need for this mod? There are two versions of it?

As Ziki said Crist, If you don't want to wait for him to PM back he has all the instant messaging contacts you can reach him on.

Not sure really, Crist I would say - I'm actually curious as to where the second poster got permission from as I don't see anything in either thread. However, both authors were active at the same time (for months) so maybe they sorted something between themselves.
