Alright, then I must have meant to be somewhat harsh.

I've no problem with anyone using any piece of open source and making 
it his own.  I have a problem with getting that changed source in my 
Inbox.  Especially since that changed source was for use outside of 
Drupal.

That is fine, many people share many things and this list seems to be 
becoming an announcement list for all the work going on.  However, post 
a link or create an issue with the files attached.  Please be kind and 
don't post a file in email that not everyone is going to use.
