@fwaggle – I “sheepishly” installed the plugin too. And after reading your analysis, very in depth, I am keeping the plugin. I couldn’t use the plugin without Ogre’s work.. so why wouldn’t I give him a link or two in return? From my analysis a link is only put on the page 1 every 10 times or so. It’s my way of giving back for his work & effort without sacrificing anything myself.
If it did something ‘malicious’ as you said, I would see your point. But a free link back to his site(s) 10% of the time that I use the software he fixed for free… I think is more than fair.
To me this is no different than someone who makes a theme, etc.. and puts at the bottom of EVERY page “This XX designed by XX”.
