I personally take offense to you accusing "members" (plural) of such an act. If you have a personal dislike of something an individual has done, you should take it up with them and not post and accuse the board as a whole. I have no idea if your right or wrong, but I do know that your post is not what I would call a diplomatic or appropriate response.

Don't get your panties all caught up in a wad over this. Linux is a much bigger program then either KiXtart or a UDF and I don't need any ones permission to modify anything in it.

Out of personal professionalism I think credit should be given where appropriate, but flying off the handle and making unproven accusations is also quite inappropriate and lowers one's own personal credit.
