I don't agree with that.
The original author has responsibility for the base plugin, support, and
documentation for it's functionality and installation.
If somebody later comes along and modifies the plugin (add/subtract/modify),
then that person assumes responsibility for documentation and support for the
modified parts and becomes first line of support in case of issues. If it's
been determined the modifications have no responsibility in the issue, then the
problem gets kicked back to the previous author and so on.
I think the same general principle applies to just about any product - free or
not. Last one to touch it takes responsibility and traces backwards until the
responsible party is found.

Subject: Re: PyQt install questions
I wouldn't. Not my responsibility to support someone elses plugin. :P
I can imagine someone emailing me, "I can't get your addon working that uses PyQt,
what have I done wrong..."
My reply, "Can you run the demos provided with PyQtForSoftimage?"
Them, "No"
My reply, "Hmm sorry to hear that. Email Steven Caron and ask him what's going
on..."
