Lots of different meanings of the word "hack", and I can't say that I know the
exact history of each of the word's meanings, but I believe the earliest meaning
involves programming with some specific task in mind, where completing the task
is more important than the means by which the task is completed.

I'm still reading the thread, but the word "hack" doesn't necessitate
illegality.
