I would move my server to another country first.I have to ask, what happens if IB wins and xenForo is asked to shut down? Or is it just to early to tell? Would we be required to remove the software from our sites?
vBulletin can't win. If they "win" in court, they will still "loose" in society. In fact they already have. This court case will hopefully be the final nail in the coffin.Well if VB did win we'd almost certainly be told to stop running XF immediately and those who don't would be treated like those running pirated VB with calls to our web hosts to shut us down if we don't comply. We can't be sued or anything, worst case is we're out the cost of our license(s).
That is a good example, I did not think of it that way. I have been holding out on updating my forums from 3.8 because I don't like what I see in 4.0. When I seen XenForo I was a bit excited, and now this Lawsuit.LOL Anthony, you are right on, I guess if IB hired a bricklayer they would tell him he could not build another building after leaving their employ.
What a joke and that is how the UK courts will view this lunacy !!!
I think as product is now out and case in court, we all should stop this discussion. We all know, there is a certain amount of risk and we bought after considering that.
Let's not do more speculation, lets focus on install and reporting error, so Gold comes out ASAP
just my .000002 cents

Dwayne, don't worry about the software being taken from you, XF has lawyers to defend their position, IB is not going to win, this is a bluff man, it is all hot air just like Ray Morgan's pre-sale scam and Bob Brisco's fraudulent licensing scheme.
LOL. it is the biggest story in the IT news sector at the moment, not just in the forum space.
Microsoft was reading a thread about it on my forum today.
Sorry but here is my problem with purchasing this software. If some how this lawsuit is won by IB then I would be left with another $100 or $140 dollar software that is useless. So in the end I could have the same issue with xF as I do with vb now. There is no way the devs here would reimburse everyone with the costs of the litigation.
To make it clear I would love to purchase xF but for the reasons I would leave vb could also happen here. Might not be this year or next but it can happen. I have really be checking here almost every hour on the hour hoping to see some official comment but I understand if they don't make an announcement.
