I am perfectly aware but I still don't understand why that matters. If I were to hold myself to such a standard as to never use code written by people whom I don't like, even if it is justified, then I might as well go ahead and join the Amish because I can never touch a computer again.
I saw this the other day somewhere and didn’t realize it was a goldmine… Then I forgot what it was called, where it was, where and how I’d found it, and the search engines treated me like it was 1994 when I looked for it on my own.
