Copyright, especially as intrusive as that, should be in the code, not cluttering your view.
Partially agree. Feel free to disable it.

We do have in mind that the extension will be possibly used under FluxBB. And I don't see any issues here.
Not inferring that there are any issues or exclusions. Flux compatibility is something that you cannot guarantee, however, if your code base does start diverging and becoming distinct. Hence the point.
]]>no im just saying that its pointless having the copyright notice there when people use in on fluxbb...
You start Adobe Photoshop under Microsoft Windows. Is Adobe copyright pointless because of Windows having Microsoft copyright?
I think it is especially important to point that extension used is not part of FluxBB. As well as Photoshop is not part of Windows.
However, they're specifically written with the intent of being used with PunBB, so where's the problem?

I'm completely missing your point here. The extensions are written for PunBB. The fact that they also work with FluxBB is obviously due to the same codebase being used. However, they're specifically written with the intent of being used with PunBB, so where's the problem?
Not trying to be awkward Matt, but this sounds like you're arguing just for the sake of argument.
]]>just i dont think you need to put the copyright notice on that extension?
I still don't get the problem.
If you don't like it: just disable it )
Though I suppose it is OK to put visible copyright notice to refer to the code author.
yeah eg this site
Currently used extensions: pun_extension_reinstaller, pun_topic_online_users, pun_karma, pun_e_mail_auth, pun_repository, pun_bbcode. Copyright © 2008 PunBB
just i dont think you need to put the copyright notice on that extension?
]]>Any reason why you have "Copyright © 2008 <a href="http://punbb.informer.com/">PunBB</a>" In the extension hook browser. Its not needed and if its used on fluxbb it can make it look weird and useless.?
Could you please explain what's the real problem? Are you talking about "Currently used extensions" list in the bottom?
I don't get the idea of "if its used on fluxbb it can make it look weird and useless".
