People who port other's works to v9

[A-master]

I don't see what the big deal about this is.

There is nothing wrong with porting someone elses add-on if:

• If the original author is active, ask if you can port it, and then credit the author.
• If the original author is inactive, credit the author.
• Make sure it works.
• Don't do an awful job.
• Don't port something that is downright horrible or overdone.

That is what for the most part I'm trying to say. But the impression I get from people who port other's works is that they don't follow what you've just listed, or didn't actually care to do so.

Yeah, I'll second that. In some cases, it's darned convenient to have that done if the original author is busy with something else...lord knows they may have lives...lucky bastards..
