Problem related terms of service

xmaxdude

I Have totally build-ed the forum with help of vanilla open source software.Now i want to launch it.The problem here is that i don't understand is it really totally free,or is there some hidden terms of service and any of the thing i am missing which would later give me a problem.

No hidden fees anywhere.
Go for it!

@xmaxdude Vanilla Open Source is totally free, and the addons here are free. It have another version of Vanilla, vanillaforums.com who are the hosted service of Vanilla (paid). They have another version of Vanilla.
This forum is only for Open Source Vanilla, and they are free.

TRUE

and the addons here are free.

currently existing addons here http://vanillaforums.org/addons are free for download.

BUT

• you have to read the license to determine the limits of use.
• and some plugins may hook into a service that has a fee. you have to read the description of the add-on in the add-on section, the readme and the licensing.

welcome new member. you really should read the documentation and the License.txt information in the Vanilla download and your questions will be answered regarding the vanilla core download.

If you do not read the info that is provided in downloads or descriptions and cocumentation of software you will always be at a disadvantage.

Sometimes re-reading the answers provided a few times helps. A lawyer can help as well if after reading you don't understand.

reading the documentation that comes with the download is always helpful.

Asking the same question over - sounds like trolling to me.
