I have indeed already offered credit.

I have no issues against modifying open-source code as long as the new code is properly credited.
I don't think anyone is trying to bring down your development team, but having an uncredited and seemingly copied piece of work looks very bad on this site and makes me suspicious of the entire group.
If you seriously want this project to go anywhere, you may as well write the code, and review what others give you. It doesn't look like you wrote 40% of the code, maybe modified 10%.
If anyone of your members in your userbase found out you use other's code, what would they think of you?
EDIT: Also, implying that we were some of your former members of your development team shows how much you care about this. Shouldn't you know who has worked for you? Seems pretty professional to me.
As long as all of this code is GNU/GPL then I don't see any problem with what anyone did, besides the fact that it is nice to give credit where credit is due. Otherwise, code-reuse (as opposed to re-inventing the wheel) is what Open Source code is all about!
TRiBot went public Feb 7, 2010 and the script editor was made on Feb 16, 2010.
So, it's 70% from the Runedev team? So is the syntax highlighter just an addition to a massive piece of Runedev coding? The script editor revolves around the syntax highlighter.
With your google scenario... if I were appart of the Runedev dev team, it would be like that scenario, but I'm not. My script editor was not made for Runedev. It was made JUST for TRiBot.
Here's a better scenario: It's like you stole a piece of merchandise and got caught, and you're not returning the merchandise. It's theft.
Did I not say, somewhere in my posts in this thread or the one at my forums that I would have been fine is I was credited?
If you can give me credit, in the script editor coding/about box and somewhere on the Runedev website or forums, then I'll agree to put this issue to rest.
