Everything is ok, most posts are under logic, but seems that all we forgot something. That part about "Reported by a Member". And I'm wondering:

"Has an average member the knowledge to check a mod for security risks? In my opinion checking for security risks it's much more difficult than programming. So, the reporter is not the average enduser who downloads the mod for his own use, but is a coder who download it for ....what really?"

I thought about it seeing where my security risk was for vbDigiShop. It was in the file which hundles the post back from the payment gateway. So someone gave special attention to that file for one of the following reasons:

1. To make changes so my mod to work with PayPal. By doing this he/she was breaking my copyright which clear stated that developing payment to work with PayPal is prohibited even if it was for his/her own use. I gave for free to public a full script by deactivating only the PayPal payments.
2. To get the code for use somewhere else. Something which is also breaks my copyright.

And now the critical question: "Do the Moderators plan to give me the details of a person who broke my copyright rules?"

How do you figure someone who reviewed your code from our site is breaking copyright laws?
