I'm assume you are seeing referrers in your server logs to know the name
of that page.

That just means he had to import it into that software to change
anything, and is just smart enough to copy someone else's hard work and
then call it his own. If you do a file diff on the two you will see they
are the same originally, heck, just open the source in two windows and
switch back and forth and you can see that it's the same.

Another good clue that you have been duped Eduardo, is the class names
and especially the one called "fubar" near the top are in English and do
not match the rest of the author's efforts.
