I've just created my first AC skin yesterday and remembered this thread. Shouldn't it be fairly simple to at least notify people if they used other people's skins?
I mean, SRS knows the name of the user logged in (e.g., John Smith) and the name of the skin the user attempts to select. It could check when this does NOT match the user name (e.g., james_hunt) and warn the user accordingly. Maybe after validating that the selected skin name conforms to the SRS personal skin naming rules (only lowercase and _), in order to avoid warning on default skins. Perhaps it also has access to the JSON file and use that, e.g., if all the default skins have an empty name field.
My skin is fairly simple so I wouldn't mind much if people used it, but the surely are folks out there who invested quite a lot of time designing theirs.
