If I or anyone else wanted to copy the format of the VBulletin forum built here at dnf.com, does that violate copyright?
I know the Vbulletin license is a paid for license. And dnf.com and dnforum.com is probably trademarkable.
But if someone wanted to build an IDENTICAL forum with vbulletin, mimicking the Forum categories and Subcategory forums, is that unlawful
Please no moral hypothesizing as I am asking for legal advice and thats all Im interested in. Just for the record, I am not planning on building or copying a domain forum
I am just curious whether a forum design is allowed to be copy-righted
Anybody know of any court decisions on this issue?
