[Raphael Valyi <rvalyi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would like to say I agree 100% with what Bertrand said.

Also I think that when you reuse some existing module, it's appreciated
that you mention the module authorship. Free module authors aren't just
stupid people making free module in their free time, they often expect some
commercial return from their technical leadership instead.

Of course none of that is mandatory, but it's usually a good strategy to be
seen rather as a partner than as a parasite by the developper community.

Best regards.
