So long as it's marked as re-usable code like you said it's fine. It's not required for them to give credit either, it is however the "norm" around here to do so otherwise we see posts like the above but then in the end after a few posts credit ends up being given because someone posted a link to the other .

I have however seen some mods marked as re-usable code but in the mod description stated "how" it could be re-used and included a link to a creative commons license with details so be sure to always read carefully before remaking anything into a product.

Good idea Thangvip9x making this into a product, not all members feel comfortable adding anything to their forum manually like plugins it just seems intimidating for some but this makes it easy .
