It is not enough to just name the author in this thread. You will need to include his copyright line in the script iteself:
Code:
/* This script and many more are available free online at
The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com
Created by: Abraham Joffe :: http://www.abrahamjoffe.com.au/ */
Also if someone "gives" you a script, you should ensure that he is the copyright holder and does have the authority to redistribute the script and to give permission for further distribution. You can not just assume it is legal because someone gives it to you.
If someone suspects a release on vB.org is not according to the copyright rules, then please report it and a staff memebr will investigate. There is absolutly no reason to start long discussions on the forums about this.
