I was referring to codersCommunity when I said that.

Apple have had many copyright infringement fights over this year against Samsung and HTC, regarding to the world that Apple seemingly has patented for themselves. However, this does not stop Apple from using Samsung's processors in their devices. They are competing against each other, yet Apple are using Samsung's resources.
I don't see how using codes from the database is something that cannot be done by particular forums. Unless I'm mistaken, the board description does not indicate any particular forums that cannot use the codes, thus any ProBoards forum should be allowed to access the database and use them. What's more, not all of them are owned by codersCommunity, but are instead owned by people from ProBoards Support. Maybe the creator of this forum gathered the codes from ProBoards Support rather than here. You can't really tell.
If Luke didn't want certain people using codes, why did he post the damn things into the database, or why did he not say that a particular forum cannot use them? Singling out one particular type of forum against the others is scandalous just because they share the same or similar interest.
Now you are twisting my words. In no way are certain forums not allowed to use it, but sometimes it's best to avoid premade stuff when making a coding or designing forum. For example, many people around the ProBoards community frown upon designing forums using a premade skin. That's all I'm saying.. It's okay to use it, that's why it's there, but being custom has become essential to ProBoards designing forum. I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's sadly the way things are on ProBoards. Designing forums on real forum software generally aren't like that, but that's just the way it is around here.
