Unfortunately, that is not true. Ideas can be patented, not copyrighted.

If you're trying to build the same style from scratch, then it is a copyright violation.

It doesn't matter how you arrive at the final result. As long as your final result looks identical or is above all a derivative work of the original, you are violating copyright law.

Well, it looks good to me Injektilo. Whenever you get it tweaked to meet the requirements of vb.org, I hope you release it. A site I admin loves the smooth blue style and would be happy to get even a derivative of it.

This issue is pretty much black-and-white, from a legal perspective.

In your case, the simple existence of this thread serves as more than ample evidence that whatever product of your work will legally be considered a derivative work. You have obviously been taking bits and pieces of the original and changing and/or remaking them. Reproduction of original copyrighted material in whole or in part is illegal unless explicitly authorized by the copyright holder (which is vBulletin.org in this case).

I'm not sure about any PM messages you've exchanged, but I don't see any explicit authorization from the copyright holder in this thread.

Ewww! I try to stay away from legal issues like this... But I would love to discuss it with The Internet lawyer a.k.a Erwin......


The problem in the internet world is that laws applicable here are not applicable there.... I could tell you that you are wrong as hell right now, but in your country, you could be ok... Liability/copyright is a pita...


Thats why im shooting for Family and Estate.

I do not know where here is..... Wasn't the style in question a result of some sort of contest.... I can't remember...


Goodluck man. I hope they give you the green.
