Since I don't watch the ubb forums closely I can't say this for sure but I can only presume it has something to do with users asking for database/php support and (for one reason or another) not receiving it. Of course, the fact that vb has an import script from ubb is another reason...
And this could be why Infopop is interested in the first place. They pissed quite a few folks off over the last few years making promises they couldn't keep. This was one of those promises. Some of their heavy-handedness and their absolutely outrageous pricing with little support is another.
Rick I wish you well. I have sent a few folks over here over the years. I really like the software. But I don't like it enough to support an unethical company or to line the pockets of folks that don't want to put the people first. Personally, I think you might have been able to work this out differently - but it's your software, your choice. I hope it works out for you and you don't just get swallowed up whole and lost in the process.
