Another teenager like me .... Yes, I do remember UBB, but mostly the PHP version, not the Perl one.

The problem here is different. Is not actually a License terms issue. As long as the product is EOL and I'm not releasing the full package but just some files, most of them with just a single word change, normally must be not an issue. For example the change to functions_editor.php to hide emoticons, was a change from "true" to "false".

The actual problem is that people who have invest to other forum software, or to vB5, in no way they like to see something like this coming to the market. Because is normal that they'll loose sales. Lot of sales, believe me.

I understood it even since the first day of the release (in another site). Posts like "Why you waste your time....", or "nobody will use it..." etc etc, in private and public posts, was a clear sign on what I've to meet ahead. But they found the wrong man to do it. If I like something (and I really love what I'm doing), nothing can stop me.
