You bring up a valid point, but if you recall, I reserved the full right to distribute and modify this vB hack. I am under no legal or moral obligation to you. Maybe you feel wronged that I am releasing this hack to the public, but it is perfectly ethical. I made a hack for your to use, you paid me, and you didn't use it. I see no reason why I should not release it other than to make you happy. If you had used it, I might not have released it out of respect, but everything is different because you aren't using it. Releasing this is not cheating you and it is not being dishonest.

As to whether this is an exact copy? No. I lost a lot of the source that I used to make your hack (about 1/3 of purchase.php) and when I asked if you still had it you said you didn't. Because of that, I was forced to redo many parts of the hack.

I am sorry you feel cheated or wronged. I wish you didn't, but because you have no solid reasoning for me to remove this hack, I will keep it up.
