First of all, I'd be flattered that your site is recommended. Second, I
would not consider any label of "Reference" to necessarily mean that
material from the reference was used. It could just mean it is reference
material for the subject area, i.e., unit conversions. FWIW, there are
several sites listed as reference material. Can you point out which
conversion factors were taken from your site? Finally, are you implying
that that physical constants and conversion factors can be copyrighted?

You should be more outraged that someone posted Borland source code. That
is a blatant violation of a copyright.

You're serious?
