    Seems like it :D

    I find it funny how quickly people jump down other peoples throats before doing research. The guy's been doing work for vBulletin for a LONG time and phpFoX for atleast 6 months now. Why do people come in here calling the guy a liar and implying what he says is wrong, when this is what he does for a living? :confused:

    I believe that Howard, the Resellers and PHPFox have this type of relationship:

    As reseller or freelancer I get paid by someone wanting a MySpace clone so I offer PHPFox script. I sell a non license version and rather than SMF I sell the buyer VBulletin also non licensed. I then walk away with some cash. But I would like more money...so I check the site for members then once the site has so many members I email Howard or PHPFox to notify them of a non-licensed PHPFox/VBulletin. In return I get a finders fee. Howard gets his fees from PHPFox/VBulleting and PHPFox/VBulletin gets full payment from the the buyer who has members and will have to pay.

    There is no warning on PHPFox's site notifying potential customers that 95% of PHPFox's script that is not purchased through them is probably not licensed. Interesting...

    Your thoughts?
