    Is there a free version of this vBulletin ?

    I understand many webhost includes this vbulletin as part of the hosting package bonus.

    Is there a beta version that is free to use whcih does not require license ?

    Is this script not a GPL ?

    Thanks

    No, this script is not free or under a GPL. I'm also not aware of any hosts that provide vBulletin as part of a package.

      And, if they do, their copies are probably nulled ones.

            It's not free if you have to pay for the hosting.

            Nonetheless there is no free vB available.

              Seems like they host you for free although they put ads on your site and take 50% of the money. Not sure how they manage to make money that way.. 160 each license.. 50% of ads can never pay up fast enough :S.

              Edit: Just noticed, its a new service. I am guessing it won't go too far as thats quite a hard deal on their end.

              Heres their forum url:
