Up until the last few months, they not only didn't give authors credit, they modified addon files that the client downloaded, REMOVING credits and donation links, changing the TOC number (something they shouldn't be doing), and in the worst cases, modifying the addon's code directly to change behavior or attempt to fix bugs. The client also changes wow settings and networking settings in Windows (I don't know about on mac). It does all of this WITHOUT the user's permission, knowledge, or giving them an option to disable it. The TOC changes are unnecessary, an option to toggle "load outdated" would solve that problem the correct way. The networking change is pointless as that issue is resolved by the game client on it's own. And of course, modifying code or doing things without telling the user or letting them disable it is just bordering on malware.
I said that too!
