I'm posting this here to hear what other coders thing of this.

I got a PM from ‘albibak’, a ‘Team Member’ from www.vbulletin-france.com. He was requesting permission to translate me hacks to French. I normally allow such types of requests but www.vbulletin-france.com is the unofficial French support website for vb. One click to their site showed me that all there hacks are open to anyone who wants to download them.

This idea of letting anyone download hacks without verifying they have a vb license doesn’t sound too good. Anyone can then translate the hack back to English and enjoy it on their non-licensed site. Most hacks don’t have that many phrases and can take a minute or two to fully translate the whole hack.

I would like to know why coders here would give such permissions.
