> You seem to be misunderstanding what a Trojan is. From Wikipedia...

Wikipedia doesn't define industry terms, especially in one-off throwaway lines without citations.

The Jargon File clearly defines a Trojan as something that (1) breaks your security and (2) is disguised as something benign.

http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/Trojan-horse.html

Unless you can show Marak Squires breached these folks security systems, it simply is not a Trojan.

(As a separate point, a claim that something distributed as source code is "disguised" simply cannot be in good faith.)

By claiming it is a Trojan, you are accusing Marak Squires of a potential felony by accessing a computer system without authorization. Making serious accusations like that should require some evidence. I don't see any.
