The *warez stuff is not like the usual accidental oversight or omission
of credit.  It's more like every popular Microsoft, Novell, etc. product
dumped into 90-part uuencoded postings.  In some cases they claimed
to be beta copies pirated before a commercial release.   Nobody
claimed that these where their own works, just that they stole it
and you probably can't trace where it came from.
