<div>@ 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 :)
