There might be some rare cases where it is ok to assume that the original author would be ok with that approach. But as a general guideline, I'd say this is neither appropriate nor legal. > 2.

Any thoughts? Agreed. But that would become effective only for such hacks which are uploaded AFTER that rule has been published. How to deal with existing hacks that have no license attached?
