[wp-forums] copy of wordshell

[Stuart Matthews]

1) I scoured his website and even the whois records for his email 
address, couldn't find it. This was a choice of the dev to not be easily 
found.
2) If it is GPLv2 licensed, then it isn't a "jerk" thing to do. The 
license specifically gives permission to share the software. You can't 
get nerd credit for using GPL and then not be OK with people sharing the 
software.
