And I'm being petty?

Dragging this topic into something it isn't...just so you can appear "right" in the court of public opinion is something I won't do.
Resorting to word games and semantics is,...

No templates? What?
IPB uses templates, and they are easier to edit than vB's....

Are you using Apache because it's FREE or because it's better?
I'd gladly pay for Apache, as I would (and am going to) pay for Invisionboard. I don't want this to be a vB vs IPB debate,...

My point wasn't about the language it was written in. My point was that you're charging OS type prices for a php script.

I've already explained why licenses like vBulletin's and Windows are dead ends.
Did you not read the longer posts?

Not at all, I think the leased license is a superb idea.
I think that charging people on a yearly basis once they have purchased an owned license is unecessary and unfair.

Where in the license did you see anything about Jelsoft saying they will control what is said on people's websites?
