MyBB is licences under GPL
Should be:
MyBB is licensed under the GPL license

Sorry, my American English doesn't like your British spelling or grammar. :p

I noticed this when AJS wouldn't tell me the reason the user in the thread below was denied.

L stands for license - that's like saying HIV virus. "MyBB is licensed under the General Public License license" is def. bad practice.
Changed it to 'MyBB is licenced under the GPL'.

Also like people saying 'PIN number' or 'ATM machine' Toungue
Actually, MyBB is released under the LGPL Toungue
Touché Toungue Edited again.
lol.
Probably doesn't matter, but should the links to mybb.com be edited from the original mybboard.net ?? As I said, it probably doesn't matter that much.

What they're saying is Personal Identification Number number and Automated Teller Machine machine Toungue But hey I do it too.

Changed the links to MyBB.com.
Sorry, didn't bother to lookup GPL. :p

Shouldn't it be " MyBB is released under LGPL" as effectively LGPL isn't and object, and the word "the" denotes 1 of something. Considering LGPL is more of an idea and arguably doesn't exist, it cannot be refered to as an object Smile
