vBulletin is a product. Nothing more, nothing less. Jelsoft sell that product (well, they license it); they create license agreements and charge a price for that license. There's no "moral" element here at all.

There's also nothing wrong with generating revenue from a website. In fact, large websites cannot be maintained without generating revenue (I pay hundreds of dollars per month for my hosting; without generating some revenue, my family goes hungry).

Even so, revenue isn't the issue here. I don't know why people keep focusing on it.
