Is it okay to lend someone my vB license. I am not selling it but lending it to another webmaster for his website.
Is lending my extra licence okay?

I was reading through the Terms and Conditions earlier today for an unrelated concern of mine. I seem to recall that lending or subleasing licenses is infact against the Terms and conditions and you're not allowed to do this. You can transfer it to his ownership, but not lease.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.Comment

If it's not currently in use then you could let them use it. But as another thread here stated the rug got jerked out from under this kid. Seems the "partner" locked him out of the forum and basicly stole it.
You can add them as an authorized user but it remains your property. That way if you decide to pull out you can shut it down, no fuss, no muss.

I just read a similar thread and apparently it is illegal to even lend (for free) unless you own the forum. That answers my question.Comment

It's not illegal to use the license if your part of the venture. If say you use your license, then technically you are an owner of the forum now. As your property is being used for the site. I don't see anything illegal unless you are charging some sort of fee to the website eg. rent. But if you join the other owner in the website project, and you decide to invest the license. Then technically it's fine.Comment

I found the quote I was on about, I knew I read it somewhere!
