    You could report them if you think they're running on a pirated/illegal license, but changing that probably doesn't matter that much...

    I've seen people change copyrights to things like "vBulletin® Version 3 Special Edition" and things as such...then soon after they just removed the version.

      would be useless to report any site with suspect copyright because of a version number... like it would be useless to report a stolen car because someone draw some flowers on the hood...

        Many people change/remove the version number for security reasons. It makes it just that much easier for a disgruntled user to cause you problems if they know the version number. All they have to do then is search for exploits that version number has. If no version is listed they have to try out several things.

        I think the official release of vbulletin shouldn't even display the version number in the copyright notice, maybe just in the admin panel for staff reference.

              Maybe a competitor?
              I removed the version number from my forums as well. And I agree that vBulletin should ship without a public version number.
