Hi Dö,
I understand your feelingsand share your points. When you find something
yours in another website it's incredible how much different you can feel
whether they give you the proper credit or not. The difference is as wide as
is being rewarded with or deprived of something.
The proper procedure IMHO would be
1) Ask the author via email for the permission to use some of his/her
material.
2) Give him/her proper credit and possibly a link (I too like the linkware
concept).
But I still can accept somebody skips the step #1 if complies with step #2.
Did you try to email him and ask for some explanation? After all there
*might* be one...
