Anyone can add a link to their site pointing to whatever code they want, and
claim that they're fulfilling the appropriate license or request or
whatever. That doesn't mean that the link *actually* points to the running

If you know the application, it is some times easy to detect a new modification.

If such modification is not in the public source code you have caught a license violation.
