Of course you could.

Agreed. One of these rules is to talk to the person first!
Plus I think the Logic of the JS is so generic that this can't really be 
called stealing.
What do you expect?
Writing about 4.000.000 lines of comments where someone used a while loop?

Good question.
When there is an extension for a certain purpose and it doesn't work on 
other TYPO3 versions you simply "take over" the idea and write your own 
instead of working together with the author of the original extension.
What about respect now?

?
I thought he stole your code.
How come that it is not working then?

I suggest to keep it down a notch and talk to the dev in private.
He called me yesterday and spent the whole night searching for the forum 
where he got the JS code from.

Best regards
Mathias
