Of course you can- no one is forcing coders to post their mods here- as a condition of using vbulletin.org you agree that abandoned mods can be turned over to someone else for development... You would have to grandfather in old mods but any new mods or any existing mods that are updated would be subject to the new rules.

This isn't rocket science.

I think the Apache license has something like this built in.
