You're claiming you didn't say the above about losers bastardizing the
code?

Generally speaking, if losers screw up the code that way, the program in
question is no longer used by others (since it now sucks), and said
program is abandoned/ignored.  The correct term for this would be losers
who "fork" some code into something else, but the original code is not
"taken over" or ruined.  Please try to learn more about this.
