Maybe but unlikely.

- You're neither endorsing or advertising brand vB if paid services are offered here.
- Modifications that are verfied as unsafe are usually removed quickly by the staff. There is no reason to suggest that it will be different if the (hypothetical) forum is up.
- The game changes if either organization takes a cut from revenue gained of a product by percentage, tax, royalty, lease and so forth.

I am not saying that there are no issues with liability. If you want to find a reason, you will. However, it doesn't matter to me either way. I'm just responding to the above quote.
