It is his code and he is totally free to decide what he wants to do with it.
We won't tolerate any copyright infringement, be it in a new thread or posted in the original release thread - it would be deleted.
Then would it not be a good idea that any FREE code, published on vBulletin.org. Be classed as open source. And allowed to be modified by anyone to improve it. Or are Coders so full of themselves that they must retain the copyright that they are not charging for.!!!!
There are good reasons besides ego to restrict other people releasing your code. I know I wouldn't want anyone releasing modified versions of my hacks because that would get confusing in a hurry.
No offense but, you people are talking like someone is breaking a law. I'm sorry to say they are not... I'd say 90% of you do not actually copyright a thing. Just slapping the words "copyright" does not make it so. Copyrights need to be registered, if they aren't well, they are not copywritten. Pretty funny

intellectual property is legally binding in a court of law... so you are wrong on that one...you don't have to register a copyright for it to be a legal copyright, simply stating that you are copyrighting something IS enough to hold up in court (at least in the US anyway)

Patents need to be registered, not copyrights. Once a work has been completed - just pressing "save" or "save as", let alone publishing it - it is considered copyrighted. Registering your work is optional and by doing so it may make the legal process smoother if you find the need to pursue action.
BTW...A work/site does not need the copyright notice for it to be copyrighted.
Not Really you can register Copyrights in the USA. You are given more protection and rights in the USA. In International Copyright laws (free/public) peoples online work is protected by things like GNU/GPL Copyright laws which you can read here http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html And like Feckie said this is OPEN SOURCE. Laws for this change alot.
