The purpose is not to let the developer know... they should know where they
swiped^H^H^H^H^H err... got the patch/snippet from.

The purpose is to let the players know.

The Unofficial Linux Kernel patch site had a method in which to label and
list unofficial patches incorporated within the server.  Maybe a method to
list these when the player does a version command.

Any knowledgable (and unscrupulous) coder would know how to hack this out,
but it's just a method to do this.
