You yourself worked on the My Smilies mod which went from coder to coder to coder and will probably go to another one for 4.x... This is all well and good that you or someone before you was able to contact the original coder to get permission- this isn't always possible and not always practical either... people move on, people even die... I wouldn't want my mods to sit unupdated if they could otherwise be so if I died unexpectedly.

In this case contacting the original author wasn't necessary, it was marked as "Re-usable Code"
