is it illegal if your friend bought a vbulletin, and then sent you the code...and you sort of removed the copyright line, and can't seem to get it back, and uh...how much is the punishment for this. And what can one do to redeem him or herself of this (crime?) action?
Yes, it is illegal, if you want to put your self in the clear you should go buy a copy your self, if you cannot afford it you should try to find another alterntive to suit your needs.
If you take care of it asap nothing will probally happen, but if you persist and continue to run unlicensed you could run into legal troubles
Just to make things clear, if they do own a license, but just have removed the copyright they need to return it. They can do that by reverting the footer template.
If they got the copy illegaly they need to buy a license or remove the info
If you dont want to publicly name them you can pm me.
