Vanilla License

kapitantutan

I'm going in for an intern for an IT company and my goal is to create an up and running learning forum which may include posting pictures and rating them. I was thinking of comparing different forums, including vanilla.

If it ever so happened that the said company would implement what I made and considering it may be vanilla, would I need to ask for permission from any higher ups or anything? I just don't want any complications, especially legal ones.
