I have ported several older hacks up to 3.5. In any case when I did a port and not a fresh write of something I needed, I simply emailed my ported code to the original author so they could use it or posted it in the original thread for others to use with the understanding that the original author could freely release the port that I offered.
The reason I do this is because I don't want to wait for some mods to be ported, but I don't want to steal anybody's thunder. If I am going to do the work anyway, I might as well share it. I don't need credit. I just need certain things working.

That's the way it should be done. There are a alot of 3.0 that when redone for 3.5 may use all new code, but it still should be ettiquette to ask the opriginal author of the previous version's hack/mod for permission, especially when they are well known hacks/mods.

I have ported one hack of NTLDR's that he gave me permission for, but generally I don't like porting other's hacks - Like amy, if I need it, and cannot wait, I'll do it myself - If there is a cry out for it, and the author does not answer or says he/she is too busy, I will post my updated version in the thread and explain that I've already done the legwork, and that they can release it if they want
