If you pay vB extra for this, they allow you to do it. It is one of the options on the vB purchase page, as follows:

"$120.00 Branding Free Option
This allows you to remove all vBulletin/Jelsoft branding from this vBulletin Forum installation "

Also, although you have to pay them $120 for this privilege, you don't actually "get any software" which is "Brand Free".

All you get for $120 is "permission" to remove it.

The vB web purchasing page

http://www.vbulletin.com/order/index.php?step=1

(select "1" for 1 copy of leased or owned and then click "continue")

states that it entitles you to remove "All" branding of the name "vBulletin" and "Jelsoft", but in fact, the "official instructions", only removes a very small part of it and leaves it in many other places.

Plus you have to do all the "work" of removing it, yourself.
