The answer is of course NO.

The answer is YES... Although no windows were physically taken, the idea of Tom's windows were planted into Harry's mind. I am an english lit major so trust me when I say that I know a thing or two about copyright laws and copyright infringement. You might think it is obsurd, but even ideas should be credited.
I'm not here to bust your chops about what you've done in the past, because quite frankly that doesn't even matter. I just hope that in the future you would consider writing a short reference to certain people and mods. It really shouldn't matter if you took directly or just took their ideas, just leave them a thank you note...
Honestly, Gibbs, I don't even know why I care so much...
Oh, that's right... Some bastard in real life took some "ideas" from one of my thesis papers, and needless to say, he gained some acclaim... Also needless to say, I got didly squat for it. Not even a worthless thank you...
