Like I said, it will have to be reviewed. There is a chance that it will be determined to be within the license agreement and it will be re-instated. I had asked the creator to remove it voluntarily on a temporary basis while a review was done but he refused to do it stating he didn't have to abide by the Jelsoft License agreement. Maybe it was a language barrier issue that caused him not to do so. Maybe I didn't understand exactly what he meant exactly by not having to abide by the license agreement. Maybe he was given some false information by someone who doesn't have the authority. Right now, we have to review the hack to see what it does, check the code and so forth.
