I think the only way to get out of this off topic money vs no money discussion is to self police ourselves and just stop that discussion.
I also think that everyone can agree that a long list of copyrights on the main page for vB does not look good and isn't appealing to the owners/admins of sites. However, it is still up to the individual coder where they put their copyright (if any).
The extremely unfortunate part of where the copyright is placed is actually a moot point. We all know those copyrights are routinely removed by end users without regard to the effort a coder has placed in creating the add-on/mod.
