Legal Opinion : Provided that script itself is written from the ground, ideas can be copied (unless it is under protection of a patent). Lotus123 is the inventor of "spreedsheet" software but Microsoft is also using the same spreedsheet concept in "Excel".

But if the software is imitating the other too much, this may go beyond copying an "idea", it can be copying the software itself even if its written from the ground. IMO using verbatim texts, same file names, same visual style is more than just using the "hack idea".

Bottomline I think eoc_Jason has his point since SaN-DeeP's hack is imitating his hack too harshly. It is ok to use the same idea, but why use the same wording, file names, visual design anyway?

BTW. I'm not judging anybody here, nor giving a decree but I'm just stating my opinion since San-Deep asked me to do so. We are not in the position of solving the issue anyway because the hack has not been released here, just screenshots are provided.

Personal opinion : I usually do not release a similiar hack myself when someone else has already used the same idea. This is not a law, nor against vb.org rules but this is just a personal preferrence as I find it rude to the other hack author if I release an hack whose idea is verbatim to his hack. Again: This is just a personal opinion!

Just a query, isn't intellectual property copyright of the implementation and not the idea ?
Or are my law principles rusty ..

I will change the name from MyRig to something else
(Name change can be confirmed/checked in next 7 - 10 days)
i will try to change the file name too from myrig.php to something else too but cannot gurantee.

Thnx for your time Logician,
I never intended to release the hack here, only posted the screenshots to show others what was achieved with vbulletin which i already confirmed in my first post

If anyone interested, leave me a PM.
I mite think of adding this to you.

Thnx.

I was away for a long time and still not properly setup. (house-move)
I am having problems with renaming the myrig name on my forums due to live-data in the same and cant allocate proper time for same.

I will try to rename it by end of this month or completely remove same.
Before Sepetember hits.

I had some flames create by users. hence i have put up this post:
