Why can't you remove it? Because DownloadsII is based on ecDownloads (its coder left vB.org and the mod contained security issues) and the ecDownloads license requires this. Because of this v6 will be a full recode.

So in other words, you can't pay for removal because it's not his copyright to make money off of. A not too uncommon occurrence here on vB.org.

This is why I say folks should make sure they understand everything about a situation before criticizing people over it. Not everything that can be done by other coders can be done by all coders.
