To vb.org and coders.

Continuing a topic I started at vb.com, are you allowed to take people's hacks here and develop them off site publically?

The reason being is that the administration of my board has decided that a limited about of technical people reviewing and installing hacks is no longer the way to go, and that hacks should be presented for public review consultation and development.

Bullshit.

You can't just take people's hacks from vb.org and develop them offsite as a rule, even if you did, I would assume it would be only with explicit permission of the hack author.

Also developing larger hacks may mean posting large chunks of core vb code, up to a whole php file which would of course break the licence agreement.

Obviously this is the open source way of doing things, which has many good points I realise. But vb is not open source, how can I persuade them to stop this?
