Hi,
If a version of vbulletin was available with all the references to VB removed would it still be considered a ligitamite version.

When VB installs it has many charactoristics of the name VB all threw it. If ALL of it could be removed what would the makers of VB have on piracy?

This part has to remain on the site:

Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.x.x

All other vBulletin stuff can be removed.

I have actually successfully removed ALL references to VB from a script including the 'powered by' reference.

If you want your copy of vBulletin to be legitimate you have to have the powered by part in your footer.

If you don't want that, there's always the option to buy the branding free license:

Branding Free Option
This allows you to remove all vBulletin/Jelsoft branding from this vBulletin Forum installation. This refers to the copyright information in the footer only. The logo may be changed without purchasing the Branding Free license.

Note: This is in addition to the cost of the license.
