I was just wondering. It does use only 1 license? 1 Copy of the files? I have not checked out the hack myself, but I doubt there is any new installations of the whole vBulletin system itself. Can we get a clear statement of why an investigation is needed, and what exactly is being investigated?

I'm currently in a mood that makes me agree to you. However we should wait for an offical statement by Jelsoft (I don't think Waynes personal meaning is the official company policy here).

However, if it would be really illegal, I wouldn't release this on any site, controlled by Jelsoft or not... so let's wait what Jelsoft sais...

Well looks like jelsoft are going overboard with negative responses themselves: Using this hack will make your installation "completely incompatible for future vBulletin upgrades". Based on the original post ref: investigating to be done, how the heck can they quantify such a statement? :)

Your post had your opinion but based on previous staff conversations, the information was incorrect. As I said, after we review this and if it is decided to be okay, then I will restore it.

Well, among the many past discussions, it had been said that it was legal. Either that or I'm not remembering it correctly.

If anything.. this hack will help Jelsoft.... because members will see how great vB's features are.. and will want to have their own FULL VERSION forum.. and will purchase a license from vB!

So if anything... this hack will expose more people to the vB forum system.... I know Invision board has something like this.. and it encourages people to get their own IPB forum.

Oh well.. Bad enough I have to pay for vB.. then wait 2 years for a new version.. and THEN I can't do want I want with my forum... *sigh*

Well ... while EvB is not currentluy under jelsoft controll, We take every measure to observe issues such as piricy ect ... all or 90% of hacks posted at EvB require the HTL to install ... the only place that you can get the HTL IS vborg ... the only way for ppl to download the HTL is if they have a valad licence ... thats how we protect jelsoft's intrests.

If we where directed to remove a hack by jelsof or a VB Team member ... it would be done!
