Actually, I think it highlights the anal rules about porting hacks. If an author releases a hack to the public, the public should be able to modify, update, etc. the code without permission as long as credit is given.
The stupid mindset that people are "stealing" other peoples' freely-distributed work is what causes a huge logjam in development of hacks for new vb versions.
Porting a hack needs permission? Stupid.
