Embarrassing is what it is! That post by "tommy sammy" linked to above is astonishing, what it says is that Stefan Stuntz only developed MUI between 1992-2006, since then MUI4 is copyrighted/developed (2006-2013) by "the MUI4 team".
In MorphOS similiar copyright lines are used for code based on AROS. For example "version LIBS:locale.library FULL" gives "(c) 1996-2003 AROS, (c) 2003-2013 MorphOS Team".
There IS a slight difference in creating enhanced versions of open software and re-working copyrighted software.
I'm pretty sure the latter is generally not legal unless permitted by the author.
