License Agreement

[zsdave]

Ok there is one thing I am unclear of at the moment. I have release several addons for vBulletin on dot org. And also undertaken quite alot of commisioned work and am currently selling a commercial P3tz addon (virtual pets for vBulletin).

My query is this:
I have an owned license. I also have branding free and I wish to make quite alot of changes to the vbulletin core so it is no longer just a forum system.
If I change alot of the product (say 80%) under software licensing laws and the license you have written am I allowed to remove the call back things. I understand that I am not elegible (and haven't been) for support on dot com since I use alot of my own addons but this is a licensing question.
As I understand it I am permitted to change the source code I possess as much as I see fit under the condition I never release the original vBulletin source code.

I'd appreciate a crystal clear response.

You are allowed to modify vBulletin to your hearts content. As long as the code is never distributed or reused in any other third party programs.

I assume that you mean yes And that the typos (content, distributed) don't alter your answer

[Zachery]

Fixed my horrid spelling. But yes the license agreement does state you are free to do modify the code as long as you understand you cannot re-release it in anyway. (AFAIK)

You are free to remove the callback if you want, just remember to check the forums and vbulletin.com for release details.
