Your right, though this page can still be used to report sites without the MyBB copyright and running versions prior to our switch to GPL (version 1.4.2 and earlier from memory).

I don't get why you guys didn't GPL past versions.

I'm curious, if a site was without a MyBB Copyright and using the previous license, would MyBB actually do anything? Probably not. No reason to keep up the page.

You can't make licenses retroactive.

Quite possibly, if someone released a commercial fork based on 1.2 code then we would most likely issue a C&D and possibly further action.

I'm not sure whats worse, the fact that you would chase after them. Or the fact that someone would for 1.2.
