Free never tasted so good

Did you know?
MyBB was originally meant to be commercial software. However, in 2003, he-who-got-his-head-shaved (also known as Chris Boulton) reversed the plans and vowed to make MyBB a free product (which it still is today).
The announcement
The move to GPL
In October 2008, the MyBB Group re-released MyBB with a GNU GPL v3 license! This change was pushed after the KDE Forums showed interest in using MyBB. A requirement for them was an open source software.
The move to LGPL
When MyBB 1.6 was released, MyBB was then officially released using the Lesser General Public License! This was done to solve legalities around paid plugins and themes.
Easter Egg
If you go on the community forums, and type "Free never tasted so good" it will become a link to this wiki page. This was implemented after Booher suggested it in December of 2011.
