As it happens, I mentioned the things I noticed (that I asked about in
my post... the excessive linking in directory listing, the ambiguous
licensing) last night to Mark R, and the plugin has been suspended
pending investigation by Mark. When the author contacts Mark to ask why
it was suspended, he will be educated about what's ok here and what's
not. Lord knows Mark hates a spammer.
