Is this wrong?

[Silverado05]

Why write one if it's already been done and I don't have to? Do you like to do things the hard way? I have to much on my plate then to write mods for phpBB forums. Since I install phpBB for clients all the time. I like to know what mods are available and how the work so I can offer them in case they are looking for something like that. So why do extra work when you don't have to? That's like reinventing the wheel, doesn't much sense does it? How does your question add anything to the topic at hand?

It seems the "hard way" is the way you've choose... I'll write a 54 line script long before Ill give a kid 15$ for the same...

Explain to me how it was the "hard way"? If I could predict the future and had I known this would happen then I would be rich right now because I would have won the lottery by now.

Like I said, I don't have the time to sit and reinvent the wheel when something like this has already been done. I don't like and should not have to buy mods for phpBB and I strongly agree with that. It's not like I went right out and purchased it? I used the free older released verison for several months before I brokedown and donated for the upgraded verison. It's not $15 is going to break my bank, but it's the principle of the thing where I should not have to pay for it to begin with. Besides it's more then just a 54 line script. It would take several weeks for me and others to write something like this and beta it when I simply do not have the time for something like that right now. I have other paying projects that need my attention.

I still don't see how your posts are relavant to my thread and the question at hand? If you do not have anything vaulable to add besides questioning my choices and ablilty then please save your replies for else where.

-Thanks

Yea I agree, what is it though. In the U.S. it has to be over a $20 or is it $40 in vaule to sue over? Regardless, it's only $15 so he still couldn't do anything and it would cost him more to fly to the states to pursue this then what he would get. That's why I just laughed cause he obvisouly doesn't know what the GNU he released the script under means. I think his main concern is I am going to freely release the "Charge/Donated" verison to the public. I told him sorry, if you don't support it. I'll have to get it somewhere else and since you released it under GNU I am legally able to do that.

Just so you know, He would sue you in the UK & you would have to go there & defend yourself, otherwise you can get convicted in "absentia".
The jurisdiction of the case is based on the plantiffs location, not the defendant's.

(not that he will sue, cuz you can't sue for loss of dontations!)

True, he could try but international laws would protect me from that every happening. Espeically since it's civil and not criminal. You bring up a good point though. I don't know how the UK judical system works, but he would have to havee me served which would entitled him having to pay a fortune for someone to come do that. I know he doesn't have the time ro money to sue over $15.

What I would really like to know is if anyone else would release this to the public regardless if it is a payed or "donated" verison?

I am not sure if I would release it or just let it go to tell you the truth. BUT if you do decide to release it just make sure to keep all his documentation (if he has included much in the line of that sort of thing) untouched and make sure the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE is also included with it.

I wish you the best in all this and hope it settles down fast.
