No brand free option can hurt business

Noodles - the problem there is it violates vbSEO's own license agreement and would invalidate your license with them.

The person who started this thread said that having the copyright on their site was hurting their business. So far vBSEO hasn't provided a way to pay to get it removed, so this is the next best thing.

Re: vBSEO - Search Engine Friendly URLs for vBulletin and More

You are NOT entitled to:
- Allow others to use vBSEO™ unless they comply with the terms of this agreement.
- Reverse engineer or create derivative works based on vBSEO's feature set or implementation structure.
- Modify and/or remove any copyright notices or labels that vBSEO™ places on each page of your vBulletin™ forums.

Joe - I am very surprised as to that response. Obviously this issue has the attention of vbSEO as well as loyal fans and yet the issue hasn't been resolved. If I had to estimate, that last response just lost you 5 points on the credibility scale and cost at least a 2 point drop in market share. Just rough number.

PS - Joe, if your next response is management hasn't made a decision on this matter but it's coming, I guarantee a double digit loss in market share. Your clients obviously take this matter seriously, I would suggest your company does.

Alex,

Thank-you for your continued feedback. As you are aware, the vBSEO Team has repeatedly given input within this and related discussions.

I posted a relevant portion of our license agreement to discourage our members from promoting violation of our terms.

I am going to close this thread now as I think that all interested parties have had a sufficient opportunity to express their opinion.
