If i where to mega hack(like all hacks for vb 2.0.1) how would i go about distributing it so people dont have to hack it, just download it, but so i dont break the copy right agreement?

My understanding is that you couldn't. This would be a definite violation of the licensing agreement.
Why do you want to make a hacked vB available for downloading anyway? You do understand that would be piracy, right?

I don't think you'll see Jelsoft making hacked versions of vB available for downloading. Suffice it to say there would be a lot of potential legal issues regarding intellectual property concerning the 'hacks'. There's a number of other issues too, but that alone is enough to kill the idea dead in its tracks.

Hehe, then i would write a small disclamer giving all copywrites to jelsoft. Also, the "hacks" are not my copywrite in the first place, i would simply be useing hacks found on this board, which are property of the scriptor that are written for use with a vbulletin lisence.

Mentor, that's my point exactly. You don't the intellectual property rights to these hacks, and neither does Jelsoft.
It ain't gonna happen. Spend your time on more fruitful endeavors!

i would be curious what Tubedog would have to say about that one.
you want to grab the bull by the horns, start with him first. Nothing pisses him off more than someone claiming they have a new "Star Hack" "online" etc. and rightfully so. That is what steve is getting at as well. Start taking glory for others work, whether you add a disclaimer or not, and your asking for trouble. That, and whos to say you wouldnt add a few things of your own to the whole project to make sure you got back in (if you know what I mean) and that is why Jelsoft is not going to look at this to kindly either. That, and the fact they have a problem already with people using thier (jelsofts that is) forums, and giving them away online. There is fine line between piracy and good intentions. Be sure not to walk it.
