Well, I went through that whole discussion, and the purists love to blah-blah about the theory, but I don't see anyone stepping up to actually run the project on an open source platform.

For me, it seems pretty straightforward, and it has nothing to do with software licenses. Do we want Reggie to run the forums? If so, we're using vBulletin. If we don't want Reggie to run the forums, who will?

I personally think Reggie's the resource that needs to be preserved, so I'm behind him and whatever he wants to use.
