Here's a response from a Jelsoft staff member regarding the matter...

Of course, for giggles, if you search around different responses over the years you'll come across this...

Other domains with vbulletin in it shouldn't be a problem from my point of view.
It looks like "vBulletin" was submitted Dec. 2005 so if you have an old registered domain then you *might* be OK but for any new domain names then you need to submit a support ticket requesting approval. Of course, based upon the comments from staff members in the support forums, that approval likely is not going to happen. Either way... using "vBulletin" in the domain without approval would be taking a chance.
