[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 299374, member: 2960"] That is just one of those words that is often misused and misunderstood. "Hacked" is one thing... "cracked" is another thing entirely. If someone were to "hack" software that was already under the free GNU license, then that isn't such a big deal. Hacking generally implies improvement or other modification in that situation, and in this case the person who "hacked" the software even took the time to send the modified version to the original creator. He wasn't breaking any laws or violating any copyright. "Cracking" software is simply finding ways to circumvent a piece of software's copyright and license restriction that isn't covered under GNU. This is obviously illegal and isn't the type of thing discussed here. [/QUOTE]
