Pradeepto has given a very nice explanation.
However, in the legal scenerio, refering to Indian IT act 2000,
unfortunately the term hacker or hacking is taken in the wrong sense.
This is what it says:
Section XI 66 : Hacking with Computer System
(1) Whoever with the intent to cause or knowing that he is
likely
to cause wrongful loss or damage to the public or any person, destroys
or deletes or alters any information residing in a computer resource
or diminishes its value or utility or affects it injuriously by any
means, commits hacking.
(2) Whoever commits hacking shall be punished with
imprisonment up
to three years, or with fine which may extend up to two lakh rupees,
or with both.
Well, we can not change the people who write these words but we can
educate them and all others by giving knowledge with the proper
meanings/explanations (Like the one Pradeepto has given)
Even if we accept the legal terminology, Ethical and Hacker will not
go together.
Most of the people on the list understand/know what Pradeepto said.
