Thanks to The Dark Reverser, Apprentice Alf, I ♥ Cabbages, Apprentice Harper, NoDrm, and all those who helped them make it possible for DRM to be removed from ebooks. Without them we couldn't possibly do what we do.

Nobody's suggesting they "out" anyone. They're saying acknowledging that they didn't actually create 99.9% of the code themselves (and thanking those who did) would go a long way toward reducing the sleaze factor.
People do that sort of anonymous "
you know who you are..." thanking/attribution all the time. Like a lot of book dedications. Just a bit of a casual, anonymous, provenance statement would be nice. And not at all difficult or dangerous.
EDIT: almost forgot I ♥ Cabbages!
