 * Maybe I am being paranoid, but I just want to be sure. I have modified two plugins
   that others have made (wp-quotes and countdown). I was hoping to get the plugin’s
   authors approval/permission not only on modifying their plugins but also to see
   if they wanted to put my changes in their plugin. I am also concerned about the
   quotations content and have contacted some of the other quotes plugin authors
   about using their content in my modified plugin. I have only gotten one response
   from the deepthoughts plugin author.
 * With the creative common license, do I need to be concerned or just make a post
   here about the modified versions of the plugins and where to get them?
 * Thank you,
    new to writing plugins.

 * “creative commons license” doesn’t mean anything by itself — it’s a class of 
   potential licenses. depending on the terms of the particular CC license chosen(
   if any) by the authors, that dictates what you can do with the code.
