Asked to phpbb guys... as GPL is viral and as phpbb-seo works only with phpbb and relies on it the mod should probably have been licensed under GPL V2 (TANL & IANAL)

(I guess FSF would be rather upsed with licensing issues like this one)

With and without seo the forums urls would be very different.

If we start without it (which is possible with a little bit of cleaning on code and database) we loose nice looking urls and easy google indexing (and hence people finding easily our pages)...

Stay tuned,
