Hey Everybody,
I'd like to point out that it is against the license agreement to remove the copyright from the pages. And yes, users who do violate the license agreement, by for example removing the copyright completely, will get contacted by Jelsoft; we won't immediately start sueing people, but you do run the risk of having your license(s) suspended.
However, what is allowed is to remove the version number from the copyright notice.
Please note that the minimum the copyright must read is:
Powered by: vBulletin, Copyright ©2000 - 2006, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
2006 obviously being replaced by the current year.
That said, note that this removal is a false sense of security as any java script can be downloaded and also shows the footer, in which it has the copyright, or the archive, or the generator, or other elements.
I would recommend against touching the "untouchables" from the admin control panel > vb options as these variables are also used during upgrade.
