Charging or free has no relevance, if someone wants to "improve" or modify my mods then they should seek permission.

However, I do think that the rules here should be changed to cover people who have clearly left the site (i.e. not logged in for at least nine months or more). In this case I think others should then be allowed to take over, or port, old abandoned hacks - but on the understanding that should the original person ever return, they can request it's withdrawal.

It is neither helpful or sensible for stuff that is wanted to be blocked forever when the person has clearly left the site.
