legal scripts?

[shmirow168]

i wanna know if its ok for me to install a geshi syntaxe highlighting and keycaptcha(free interactive captcha) on my forum. if this can result in account suspension?

Both are okay as far as legality goes (they're both freely available and freely usable). The only question is whether either would cause issues with high resource usage. It's unlikely that KeyCAPTCHA would pose any problems. GeSHI shouldn't pose any problems either; I haven't tested it, but I haven't been able to find any performance complaints about it online either. (It is possible to write a syntax highlighter that will take up an enormous amount of memory while parsing and lexing, but I'd expect to see some complaints online if GeSHI did that.)

Yep.

I am using GeSHI on one of my WP sites and no issues so far.

As long as you're acquiring the scripts from an official website (I.e. GeSHI off of GeSHI's website), it's most likely legal for you to be using. You wouldn't expect someone to host illegal versions of their own software on their own website, after all.
