Will this be punished?

something amazing, to searche "dhtml menu", you will find may software for the webmaster to build the drop down menu. I find some website has a very high pagerank, so I checked it, they do have many back links.
I checked one of the back link site randomly, so I find that the software can insert some codes in the page, such as"<!-- **** DHTML Menu --><noscript><a href=http://website.com/>DHTML Menu, (c)2004 ****</a></noscript><script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="/include/***menu.js"></script><!-- *** DHTML Menu, website.com -->"
so the every webmaster give one ore more back link to them, that make the website linke this guy has a very nice pagerank, do you guys consider it reasonable? Or this will be pubished by goole?

Many software builders have a link as a condition of use, in lieu of payment.

It's unlikely to do any harm as a single link - but could be fatal as part of a pattern of inappropriate links.

It's also unlikely to do any good, but not everybody knows that :)

These days a webmaster needs to take care ;)

Why do you think that every webmaster will give a link back to the site? Moreso a webmaster will not enjoy the fact they are giving out one way link.

I do not mean every webmaster would like to give a back linke, but most of them do not know the truth that they have a out link in the page after they use the kind of menu builer.
