I think that using a class as a minor portion of a script is different from substantially using someone else's code and then calling it your own.

And contrary to the Copyright notice of the original IPN script there is no attribution or supply of documentation indicating anything about the IPN script with the mosLock component.

The point here is that mosLock is not using a simple class as part of a major coding effort. mosLock is substantially built around someone elses work and being claimed by Phil to be his own. That is plaguarism at best.

Phil has added little of substance to the original free IPN script he uses which despite being free is copyright and contains conditions including not providing it for resale. The substantive portion of mosLock was not written by Phil Taylor.

This is a simple issue of what is morally if not legally right.
