You are still repeating the same thing that i tried to explain you.

You are wrong in your deductions :

1- You cannot make a non GPL add-on ( Plugin ) for MYBB. <-- THIS IS FALSE
2- Anything added/plugins are GPL if they plugin to MYBB. <-- THIS IS FALSE
3- That license is invalid and thus the plugin IS gpl. <-- THIS IS FALSE
4- So ANYONE doing a add-on/plugin for MYBB and tries to use a non GPL compliant license is the ones who are in the wrong. <-- THIS IS FALSE

1- In an international free market, any software developpers can make almost any kind of non GPL add-ons with a legal license attached to it.
2- It is the person buying a non GPL compliant licensed add-ons and installing it over a GPL MyBB that is wrong!
The author license is still valid for non-redistribution if it is mentionned.
3- The wrong doing of a user do not invalidate the plugin license itself.
4- The user associating the two incompatible licenses is the one in the wrong.

Just to help you understand the concept, take as an example if Ford was giving the interdiction to install any part on their vehicule not make by Ford for security issues and invalidate any waranty if this is done.

No lawyer or judge would be able to stop any companies to produce replacement parts for Ford vehicule and sell them. They would no more be able to do anything against a user buying those parts.

But they could act if Ford make a complaint against a user INSTALLING the part on the vehicule.

I hope that now you will understand a little bit more about legal processes...
