Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what DBTech is trying to do. That's clean up the footer of all the individual copyrights.

The absolutely easiest way is to check if the script is a standard vB script or a full DBTech script and exclude the copyright from all pages generated by scripts that aren't in that list.

We're discussing it, and the biggest issue with that is it means making a huge list that has to be updated every time we release a new mod (which is roughly every few weeks). Then we would have to edit/re-upload all of our mods using global footers. Every few weeks.

Plus we would need to ask users to come download and install those updates every few weeks.

We would be significantly inconveniencing ourselves and our users/customers to pull this off, in other words.

There's also the argument to be made that many of our mods DO run on pages generated by other mods, some visibly and some in the background, and by taking this approach we would be removing copyright giving users actual correct info.

For instance our Navtabs mod would run on any page with a navbar. Our profile hover mod on any page with linked usernames, etc. There are many other examples, too. By blanket excluding all non-default pages, we would be removing the copyright of those mods despite them potentially being on that page.
