We should keep it to ourselves lol. If we are spending 1.5 million I doubt we would want to give it for free or cheap to other people. Also it would make a bunch of clones and we want our forum to be OURS, and no copies anywhere else. I doubt we would be the best forum software in the world though...

If it really is that good it can be sold, not given for free.
Also it could be called "Bitcoin Forums" or something like that and give bitcoin more exposure.

There are several options here, I don't think keeping it for ourselves would be the best one.

Yes, I agree. Wouldn't it be great if the forum could end up making the 1.5 Million back by licensing out the software!

Doubt anyone would buy ANY piece of code for 1.5 million dollars, but custom code jobs are a different story. Well, if the code broke sha256 I bet it would not be sold for as little as 1.5 million lol
Calling it like BTC Forum Software would add lots of exposure I'm sure, if its really good, but it won't really have that much volume if it is sold as a good price.

Not for 1.5 Million. But, if you get 10 sales at 150K, you are at the same difference. And calling it the Bitcoin Forum would give bitcoin lots of exposure.

Seriously doubt they would sell it for even 150k. The forum would probably be highly specialized, and there are many great free forums that serve the general purpose of just having talks with eachother, with some categories, PMing, and some signature stuff. Nothing special needed could easily be found for free.
