This was not done with GWX-TA, neither GW-UA!
WU will contain from WAC and GWX, what I find interesting! But it's not necessarily the entire package! The size will still be big, but it will not contain everything! Just as WAC or GWX don't contain everything!

At least this is what he has done to date, with (as far as I know) no permission obtained from the creators of the original work.

Partly true, partly not true! It's true that I have not asked all and one modder to permit my tweaks, some people just don't answer me, when I send them a PM! How is the normal reaction, when people ignore a person? Exactly, one would do the same to them! But that doesn't me that I don't write a credit to them in the readme file!

Regardless of credit given, this is 'poaching' off other peoples hard work.

One may feel so, but one shouldn't!

You could argue that any modder working from UBI files should do the same, but blah blah blah. We heard that before. What we are talking about is 'modders etiquette' within the community. He has shown none.

Wrong! I show some by crediting! I just don't fall to my knees and beg for permission! But we have all been through this before: some find the begging necessary, I don't! I admit it and apologize for it! But accept the fact, when you release some freeware on the internet, it's freeware! It will be used sooner or later, also one day, when none of us is around anymore...
So I credit, and that's it! Sorry!
