Yes, well actually I already know that there is no legal problem; I was asking if you didn't mind, personally Wink Though everyone must rely on licenses, I tend to think that proper (net)etiquette is always A Good Thing. After all, we would be using your own code to get phpBB better, which in some sense is one of your direct competitors.

BTW, I installed fudforum on a personal machine to check it out. I see that code is pretty clean, though _SPARSE_ of comments, to say the least. Some suggestions:

- The CP is better than phpBB's but still a mess Smile I think this could be fixed by A) Using some little javascript to open/close modules of settings, and B) Split setting pages that are far too long, such as the General settings one.
- Some inline-help on the CP settings would be very nice, for example I didn't quite understand the 'regexp' settings for mails. (I guess it's a perl-compatible s/regexp/settings string?)
- "php.php"... LOL!! I think you should tailor this as a install-specific md5 hash (i.e. ask for a passwd in the install process). Hardcoding is not a good thing for security.

And, some questions:

- Why did you use file-based databases for messages (among other things) ?
- How stable is mailing list / nntp support?

Well, that is for today, too long of a post already Shocked .

Cheers,

Thanks for the warm comments, as far as code poking goes the code as under GPL, so any GPL 'rules' apply. But since afaik phpBB is under GPL as well I don't see any possible problems.
