Just because the source is distributed for free, doesn't mean that the entire package can just be taken over by someone else. If you want, you can create a library called MyAllegro or something which you can say was "based on Allegro 2.1", but please, don't modify Allegro and then re-release it AS Allegro, especially without Shawn's permission.
