The only time I have had to admonish another author is when he took large swaths of my code, wrote a compatible AddOn that was a plugin for yet a third AddOn, and didn't mention where the plugin got the original code.
The code in question was copied word for word, without changing anything, not even variable or function names (other than the
MyAddOn:SomeFuntion() vs
HisAddOn:SomeFunction() ) and the truly funny part was that the copied code was buggy and I had long replaced it.
Slightly concerned the author copied buggy code, I informed him that he should add "Parts from MyAddOn v1" and that it compatible with MyAddOn v1 and v2, and that the code was buggy. I even pointed out where to find working code in my newer AddOn.
He did add the byline, but never updated his code. I don't think his AddOn exists anymore, as it was written during Wrath, and abandoned within a month or two.
Meh.
