I'm not sure where the connection is failing to be made.

You suggest that people should work for you at no charge to you. Then claim that they should also have no protection over their work. You insist that if a copyright violation were to occur, they can always go pay solicitors to fight the good fight like other software houses do (i.e. vB and IPB which oddly enough CHARGE YOU FOR THEIR SOFTWARE).

You know what? I like to read. But I am really sick of having to pay for books. Why cant authors just produce free books. On that note, all music, movies and petrol for my car should be free as well. Why? Because I am me!

The welfare mind set and its accompanying arguments are ignorant. People contribute on here for free all the time. The ratio of free mods to paid mods is most likely greater than 100:1. You are really complaining that the 99% isn't good enough for you? You must have it all? If that is the case, then any functionality that you do not want to pay for (i.e. vbSEO or any other commercial system you used as an example)... go make yourself instead of crying that others should do it for you at no cost to you (just time and money for them). Its really not any more complex than that. Quit expecting everyone to give you something without anything in return.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
