Request: vb.org version of the gnu

[Reeve of shinra]

I started to write out a really long and well thought out post but I changed my mind and decided to keep this simple.

I think it would be benificial to the creators of mods and styles and to the people that use them if we could devise our own version of the GNU liscence for use here on vb.org. EverythingVB had something like it and alot of authors here started using it until the site vanished.

It could even be something as simple as saying that yes, users can provide updates for hacks but those updates can only be provided here on vb.org and no where else. Or yes, users can provide an update if the original author can't be reached after a good faith attempt to do so.

Now I understand that some people release "lite" versions of thier commerical software and thats fine, this can be optional for those who want to use it.
