I'd like to see it be re-released with an up to date version (with all fixes and ported to 4.1.5).

Would the VB.org moderators care to comment on this proposal?

And what should really happen is that a similar functionality should be built into VB!

There is no way no how that a mod here ever becomes "public domain" without the author's consent, it's simply not legal- a mod author retains rights to their mods.

You could attempt to contact the mod author and ask he give permission or mark his mod "Re-usable code." I have managed to track down a handful of coders over the years who were happy to give permission to let their old mods live on.
