Being courteous, and doing what's required are two separate things. Sure, h4x0r isn't being courteous, which is a dick move, but it's not the huge terrible crime that some people are making it out to be. If the creator of CE really wanted people to mention him, he would have written down said stipulation. Or he could have gone for a creative commons license, or written up a GPL license.
And if it really is such a big deal, why not contact the creator of CE and get his input? Right now it just seems like people are making a stink about h4x0r for being kind of a jerk, but not really doing anything wrong.
Also [Psych]: He's not ripping it off if the CE creator doesn't actually care if people do that.
