While I agree with you, Nick does have a point as this type of behavior is a
problem in the BBS world.  Actually contributing and making software better
is good.  Putting your name in the "About" screen of a software package,
compiling it, and claiming you are now the developer of a moribund/dead
piece of software is what Nick was aiming at.  Actually contributing
something worthwhile to an actively developed software package is much
different.
