As long as you are not using any vB images or clones of these copyrighted images then you should be fine.

File names are dead obvious as well last I checked ;)

a way to find if the board is not a vBulletin is simple.. phpBB does not have a single file named the same way vBulletin does... (forumdisplay, showthread etc...) so you don't have to fear to be sued for a "mimic" of vBulletin... :)
