My advice is to stick to official Jelsoft sites that has access to the licensed member database so that hacks don't fall into the hands of software pirates.
This is yet another reason why I wouldn't release code to the VB community via an 'official site'. Why on earth should Jelsoft decide who can see my code? It's also marketing for Jelsoft - 'buy a licence and get access to all these hacks' - that other people wrote
The hack I'm currently working on (vBMA) will be released on both vb.org and my own forums aswell.
I will just add a link to my forums, saying you can download it form there aswell.
It's better than some other site pirating my hacks, without my permition

Personally I would proud if my code was being reused by others - it would be nice if they retained the copyright as defined by the GPL but no biggie unless they were making commercial gain from it.

meh
They don't decide who can get to see your code.
Ultimate decision still lies with you, whether you want to release it only here or elsewhere too.

The fact you allow users to download your hack on your site, doesn't prevent people from posting it somewhere else.
