Actually, you get a 2 month trial period before you're required to register
when joining WWIVnet.

VBBS doesn't use the WWIV software but they DO use the WWIV-Network software
which is also copyright protected by law.  Systems that are Non-WWIV but which
use the WWIV-Network software are required to register the network software (a
lesser fee than registering WWIV itself) by the end of their two-month trial
period.

Systems which don't use WWIV-Network software are not required to register
WWIV or the WWIV-Network software.  An example of this is WWCP.  If you use
WWCP to gate a Waffle board into WWIVnet, you don't need to register anything
with WWIV on the name.
