It makes perfect sense.

and me using the lockdown hack to protect certain information or only allow certain information to be seen by fellow posters limits jelsofts income how, exactly?

me wanting vbhosting to allow mods of subforums to use custom colors and logo takes away from jelsofts profits how, exactly?

keep in mind, i don't charge folks for subforums.. nor have i ever, nor do i ever intend to.. i don't stiffle growth because it's the only thing in this world that, if stiffled, creates a dominant defeatist attitude.. that of which i do not have..

as far as intellectual property rights, law and the violation therein.. i don't know a great deal.. however, i know it's not my case to prove in court if someone comes after me.. the burden of proof lies within the case of the complaintant.. not the defendant.. that is a fact and some i do know with 100% certainty.. it would only be my job to defend myself..
