Of course not.
We have a lot of possibilitys :
1. We ask the Coder of the Hack if we can translate and distribute it.
2. If that not works we ask only to translate and give him the Package to distribute it on vbulletin.org. We will make than a german Supportthread at vbhacks-germany.de of course.
3. In cases of GPL licensed Hacks there is no need to ask.
@Zachery - i think you are really misunderstanding the GPL. Please read it again.
Any modification and Redistribution of any Software that is based on GPL licensed Projects must be licensed under the GPL too !
@all - i think this Discussion here is basing on a complete misunderstanding of our Project :
1. We are nothing else as vbulletin.org - the only thing is - we are supporting in German and Distributing in German for the largest vBulletin Community and we are independent from vBulletin-Germany (for the Beginning !).
2. We don?t want to get your Hacks under our Names. We provide you (!) with the Service to get more Users to your (!) Hacks. Of course we are allways linking to your Site or your Original vbulletin.org Thread.
3. We are not releasing any Hacks we are not allowed to by the Coder !(Exception - GPL or any other License that is allowing it - but of course in anyway the Coder will be informed so that he can link to the German Support in his Hackthreads.).
4. Of course we are working together with vbulletin-germany and we are only starting to distributing Hacks form you or anybody else if we are connected to the License-Database. This will happen in the next few Weeks.
