   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.
