FREE vB licenses for Hack/Mod creators

[Razasharp]

Just wondering what everyone thinks about this, and particularly the hack community who dedicate a lot of time making hacks, releasing them then supporting them.

Do you think Jelsoft should give a free vB licence to Hack Authors? Perhaps say after 100 downloads/installs? And perhaps larger hack Authors with say 1000 or more downloads get some monetary compensation for their efforts? (exact numbers could be agreed on later)

I'm sure many of you will agree that the hack community is one of the most important aspects of a successful platform such as a forum (Don't take my word for it, vb.org has over 100,000 members!)

I think an incentive such as this for contributors will not only be of benefit to Jelsoft but to us as the end users as well - I mean where would we (including Jelsoft) be without our hack/mod creators?

I think this is forward thinking and protecting not only Jelsofts future but ours as users too.

Your thoughts please
