Wow...this is about the quickest I have seen a thread propogate!
Wayne, I handle copyright law all the time. There are some gray areas that may have to be dealt with (specifically the automation), but the user database, post database and everything else function off of one license. vBHosting does not grant each user their own vBulletin license, nor access to all of the features of an Admin. Simply put, it just gives our Moderators a bit more control than vBulletin saw fit to do.
I hope that instead of issuing a declaration from on high, vBulletin will look at this hack and work with the developer to ensure a great hack that adds even more functionality to an already stellar product. I for one see a great chance to allow my moderators the ability to design their own subforums, and to have access to ban people (using access masks) from their part of the site.
Please....don't jump the gun on this one.
