Mate, just got linked the thread from elsewhere and even though it was months ago it's worth responding.As a dev you are completely in the right to pass the software you have legally licensed to someone else to install. The person installing the software is then bound by the license as well. So...

... As if I needed more examples that most people treat computers as magic boxes. -_- And it's nice to know SB has managed to kill the XF software. ;) :p

Kier, you're a machine. :)

Experienced pros doing what they know. So all the big bugs that an inexperienced developer would make aren't being made in the first place. :p

Custom BBCode would be great. I know there are a few on Spacebattles that get used fairly heavily now. and off the top of my head.
