Maybe a coder's perspective will help with some understanding. I'm one of the DragonByte coders btw. If you are using the vB core system for your mod then you can't say that what is displayed is 100% yours minus the style and vB.
If you use fetch_userinfo and display the musername, then my profile hover mod will be running on your page. If you don't build your own navigation bar and use what vB provides then NavTabs will be used on your page. If you don't write your own database class and use the vB db class and vBOptimise is installed then your display time is greatly decreased by vBO's reduced queries.
I understand that you don't like the generic DBT footer. The design was really just a matter of picking the lesser evil. We needed a mod that will consolidate serveral lines of copyright into one, that does not need to be updated every time we have an updated/new release (which is just about every friday) and does not need to reach back to our site to get a list. If you can come up with a mod that only displays the mod copyright for those mods and only on the pages that they run on and doesn't need to be updated constantly or leave the users site for more information then I would be very interested in hearing it.

I am not a full time coder for DBTech, but I am a web developer/product designer, yeah.
