Sorry but when I said "hide" I meant hide mIRC's reply and show something else. I was not referring to ignoring a version reply altogether.
The fact that something is popular doesn't necessarily mean it's right. Copyright theft is indeed very popular nowadays, but that doesn't mean people should be allowed to steal software and music. Do you really think there's any justification for somebody wanting to claim mIRC as their own software? That's what changing a version reply is.. I can't imagine any valid justification for that. Surely nobody deserves to claim authorship of mIRC but Khaled himself.. in that sense- you either show the correct version or you don't show any at all. Sounds fair to me. If you don't like it, use one of your "free" clients.
In the end, Khaled wrote mIRC, you did not. So why should you want to tell people otherwise?
