[wp-hackers] My plugin removed from WP.org extend directory

[Aaron D. Campbell]

I can't say I know for sure why the plugin was denied, but as a fork you 
may need better attribution to the original author.  I'm not sure having 
this in your readme.txt is enough:
-------------------------------------------
= Is this a fork of All in One SEO Pack? =

Yes.
-------------------------------------------
Again though, I don't know that this is why it was declined.
