I am starting to run a MyBB host.
I was wondering if I could get (and if I need) permission to use text and images from the MyBB website.
For example, the text and images here:
http://www.mybboard.net/features/administration
I'd include a link to the page with the original text/images, and make it clear that the content is from MyBB.
Thanks
Hi Zeggy,
Please ping Chris Boulton about this issue over PM if you don't get a response here.
Thanks.
You could always take your own screenshots :p

This is true and if your really lazy you can use a plugin like
FireShot so you don't even need another app to crop out the browser
.
Um...correct me if I'm wrong but I believe legally, taking a screenshot of copyrighted content and cropping out what you need is basically the same as saving the copyrighted content directly >.>.
Not too sure about the laws, but in either case, it's certainly one rarely exercised. I mean, just look at all the screenshots from games... (where most of the time, the people publishing the screenshots don't get permission from the game studio)
In either case, I see no reason why any software developer would discourage free distribution of screenshots, assuming that the application itself is given away free of charge.

So I couldn't take a screen shot of the admin panel of the forum I installed on my site and post it?
