Keep your pants on there fella.

Copyright infringement != Theft.

Reverse engineering or modifying software for personal (private) use is legal in many countries, so long as you do not distribute or disseminate, you have done nothing wrong. And talking about it here would be wrong obviously.

There are tons of rendering engines that are free anyway, some even run on the N900, many could probably be ported fairly easily, so really, there is no incentive to carve up this trial / commercial application anyway.

There are more gentle ways to nudge a person back on the right path.
