Take note to this section of the Terms of Service :

He has all the right to release this mod here on vbulletin.org.

I had bought mods off of him in the past. I had contacted him through his website and we discussed it through AIM. I am sure I no longer have the conversations, but it was not supposed to be released to anyone else because there were many competitors at the time looking for a similar mod. I no longer own that website anymore. But it still makes me mad that it was released anyways.

Well, he can make that anything he wants too. lol. Those rights are for people using his code. This code was made "for me." I requested and had him implement EVERY single one of those features, all the way down to the being the mentor if you were the one who referred someone.

Of course I have also tried to contact him since I saw this. I messaged him and I left him a PM on his forum. I have still yet to hear back. :[

I am just now noticing because I was out of the vb scene for a while. I came back on here to check in on a mod or two for someone I am helping out and I just so happen to see this.

Regardless of what you asked him to and requested him to implement, it is his code not yours. He has every right to re-use it or make it public.

I made it very clear that it was not to be released. I had many competitors at the time. Trust me, that was something that I made sure of. If I PAY him big money to create a custom code for ME, it is no longer his code. When I buy that code, it is now mine. Why would I commission a PUBLIC code for everyone? If that were the case I would have posted here and saw who wanted to go in on the mod with me. But I wanted it to be private, period.
