@ Emil, are you saying they shouldn't be able to? I assumed if they give complete credit and made clear that they're not affiliated with PageLines it would be ok, as there are many cases where plugins are improved/fixed and re-released in similar situations. Just curious what is/isn't okay here :)

PageLines would retain the name but as you noted, you could "re-release" it ... but I would strongly recommend you contact PageLines just in case.<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br>
