Default Important license question!
Hello.

I'm working on mod and I don't know am I allowed to use part of vB code?

In file I see:
|| # Copyright ©2000-2009 Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. All Rights Reserved. ||
|| # This file may not be redistributed in whole or significant part. # ||
|| # ---------------- VBULLETIN IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE ---------------- # ||

But mod works only with vB - so works only for people who have license - so can I use part of vB code?

So you want to use the copyright in your code? Or code from the vb files in your code?

It is clearly written:
"I'm working on mod and I don't know am I allowed to use part of vB code"

This means that I want to use part of vB code.

But I don't know do I'm allowed to use that code because:
"In file I see:
|| # Copyright ?2000-2009 Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. All Rights Reserved. ||
|| # This file may not be redistributed in whole or significant part. # ||
|| # ---------------- VBULLETIN IS NOT FREE SOFTWARE ---------------- # ||"

Something else to explain

Well, yes. Of course you can use the vB code. Most code/mods couldn't be written if we weren't allowed to use that code

Actually you are NOT allowed to use that fragment. You wrote the modification, not Jelsoft.
