I asked this question on the phone tonight to a Vbulletin client,
but thought it would be a fair question to ask here
before my company invests a lot of time and cash in
using the V software.
1) Is there anything in the script code of Vbulletin
that could potentially be in violation of copyrights that
UBB may own?
2) Is there any potential that UBB may have cause to sue
for violation of "theme features", such as the VERY SIMILAR,
if not all-out duplication of the "look" of UBB in the
Vbulletin software?
3) Does Vbulletin have a retained federal copyright
attorney that has already addressed these concerns? If
so, can you please direct me to his/her law office?
--------
My agenda is very similar to all others here, in so much that
I am fed up with the lack of support from UBB, along with
the required bandwidth to run UBB software and the subsequent
price we must pay to support such as forum site.
We are also one of the clients who lost ALL of our data,
forum files, etc at UBB Networks, which has since been sold
out to another company who has yet to give us any hope.
I am impressed with the speed, and the hosting price to
support a forum run on Vbulletin. But after getting burned
before, I MUST ask these questions before I can go to my
director or authorization of a change.
Thank you for your consideration of my questions.
