Mod links in lower left corner

[FinsandFur]

I see SMF 2.1 has links to the used mods in the lower left hand corner of my forum. I have no problem with that I guess. I mean I am using a free mod (Simple Audio Video Embedder).
What I dont understand is WHY does the link on my site take them to "https://www.createaforum.com/"

Because that's where the mod author wants that link to go. He runs that site as well.

I wondered if that was the case after my paranoia wore off.  Which makes perfect sense
I appreciate the info.
