A question around "Copyright Visibility"

[HBAndrew]

Hey, not to steal the thread or anything just a simple question related.

If I buy VB, would I be allowed to change the Powered by vBulletin line and Copyright Jelsoft etc into a couple of images for security reasons? So people searching in search engines don't go searching them lines trying to find out of date versions with security holes in case I don't upgrade right away?

If not may I at least remove the version number without paying for copyright removal? Since technically the copyright is still pretty much in full.

Thanks

The least you are allowed to have is I believe:

You can remove the version number.
