vb.org Archive - View Single Post - What do you do when you pay for a premium add-on and the developer goes AWOL?

After reading the copyright, the only line that seems relevent is

Quote:

Any modifications to this script are done at your own risk.

I see no problem with people who paid for the premium version to decide to do modifications at their own risk. The fact that they all agree to do the same thing is irrelevent. What would NOT be OK, would be to turn around and offer the premium version (I presume he delivered some code for the premium version) for sale.

I didn't get the premium. I would love to use the basic hack, but I hate using something that is no longer supported. Seems like it would be OK if some kind soul adopted and supported the basic version, and upgraded as they saw fit.

BTW, Gio is just 15 years old!
