Thanks Dean, I'm enjoying it too. It's opening my mind to new ideas and possible shortfalls in the premise. The more we can consider, the more we can make use of targeting.

As for copyright, this is not about a logo. It is not about stealing a branding or adulterating it. It's about being a part of it. This can be any brand, idea, or subject.

When you talk about a brand, you are not bound to credit the copyright holder or spell it a certain way or even use the logo. So I don't see any problem with that part.

In fact since we're stuck on the vB part of this, with all due respect to Jelsoft, any path to vB that comes to us, leads to Jelsoft. I'd hope that they see this in a positive light.

But if we apply this to widgets, we have a great converstaion about what you can do to be in the search engines in regard to any subject. That is one of the hottest topics we have on vB Webmaster currently. (better?)
