I am very sympathetic to your cause, and I hope you'll prevail in the lawsuit from the publishers of vBulletin.
On the other hand, if the courts surprise you — and they can be unpredictable — how do you indemnify people who have invested in your product? Are they potentially liable in the event that the verdict goes against you, because they'd be using software that supposedly infringes on another product? Not to mention one that may never be updated.
Mind you, I'm not suggesting for a moment that you will lose. But I do want to start moving our forums to Xenforo starting with your 1.1 version, and I just need to feel better about the process.
Where's this stand (and forgive me if there's another tread on the subject that I've missed)?
