Jelsoft has the right at any time to alter the license agreement in a retroactive fashion at which would render your theory wrong.
Additionally, and add-on or modification to the source code of vBulletin is subject to the same license agreement under International Copyright Law and therefore would be considered a violation of the LA.
Jelsoft has every right, and I would assume every intention, or protecting itself.
Yes, you could go run off and threaten a lawsuit, FASherman, but what would it accomplish? The destruction of vB? Them altering the flexible licensing agreement already in play?
It has been the benefit of the community to be able to use and modify vBulletin. Paying for a thing does not necessarily give you the right to destroy a thing.
