Beware of "Backspaceware" - Paint.Net Source Stolen... Again

blog.getpaint.net — With Paint.Net's success as an easy to use replacement for commercial graphics editors, the scum of the earth chase the rewards. Yet another jerk has taken the source code, deleted all the copyrights and credits, and released the work as his/her own - for profit. Worse yet, this loser has stolen some 50 plug-ins developed by the community!
