Chris is correct. vBulletin.org owns the rights to this skin.

And here's a refresher on US and International copyright law, since there seems to be quite a bit of misunderstanding.

All works of original art that is created is automatically copyrighted the owner (in the US. This work was created in the US, so is subject to this clause) (or the employer, if the creator was working within the scope of his employment at the time). As the original copyright holder, he/she is entitled to control of the original work, in addition preventing any derivatives (including your style).

As a result, if you would like to use your style, even though you have created it yourself from scratch (it is still legally considered a derivative work), you will need to seek permission from the copyright holders. In this case, the vBulletin.org Site Administrators.

Simply leaving the copyright intact is not enough. It is no substitute for consent, and in a court of law, it holds absolutely no weight.

Hope this clears it up.
