    Well, last time I checked MaNGOS was under the GNU General Public License, so he doesn't have to ask your permission to do anything.

    In addition, as a special exception, the MaNGOS project
    gives permission to link the code of its release of MaNGOS with the
    OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it
    that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute
    the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License
    in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you
    modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the
    file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
    so, delete this exception statement from your version.

    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    • a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
    • b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
    • c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
    • d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
    And the Coup de grâce:

    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
    I'm just tired of people saying "You used MY code!" etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.... it's not OUR code anymore, it's the MaNGOS communities code, and if you don't like that... stop making repacks.
