I have read somewhere here that although VU would require a BF3 license which can only be required for Origin,it would not check for DLC license.So if I copy the DLC files from my BF3 directory(Note:I legitly bought the DLCs) and pasted it over my brother's BF3 directory(which has NONE of the DLCs) can he play on VU servers running DLC maps?

Number 2: How will VU handle modifications?
Is it like BF2 where a mods folder will be created and we just paste the mod/mod folder into it or will it require some crazy sh*t?

Yes, there will be mods, but all of the ways that you will be able to mod in VU has not been finalized. (aka, why modding support is disabled in cb)
Number 3:Will HighXP server be allowed?
Almost all players in the Battlefield 3 community are colonel,major or a general.And resetting their stats would be very heart breaking since some of them played for months/years for that rank,stuff and weapons.Atleast a fast way to rank up,maybe only availabe during Open Beta.

A: HighXP servers will most likely not be allowed. However, we will be hosting several community events with higher XP modifiers.
Number 4:Will a wipe occur after Open Beta(therefore rendering the HighXP server suggested above useless)?
Pretty much self explanatory but lel.Would be a waste of investment in time again.
NoFaTe wrote:Q: Will a wipe occur after Open Beta (therefore rendering the HighXP server suggested above useless)?
A: No, stats will only be wiped after the completion of the Closed Beta.
Number 5:Will premium weapons be unlocked for everyone or do we need to earn them?
I have read a post of NoFate's saying that they do not want to discriminate players so they will give them the Premium Weapons too so do these weapons need to be unlocked or are they already unlocked?
NoFaTe wrote:Q: Will premium weapons be unlocked for everyone or do we need to earn them?
A: Premium unlocks are available to everyone.
Number 6:Will there be a friends system and coop in VU?
In the vanilla game,you needed Battlelog and Origin friends so you can effectively coop together. How is it gonna work out for VU? Same with Rome or more like Battlelog and Origin? Also about the coop, is it unlocked or will be unlocked later on?
NoFaTe wrote:Q: Will there be a friends system and coop in VU?
A: A friends system will be implemented at a later stage of development. Can't say the same about COOP.
Number 7:Can you switch between official and EA servers?Is the client made up of new files or is it just a dll?
Sometimes I may want to switch between servers and by doing so will not get banned by PB or GSC. In what form is the client that punkbuster will not detect and ban it?
NoFaTe wrote:Q: Can you switch between official and EA servers?Is the client made up of new files or is it just a dll?
A: If you launch your game from Battlelog/Origami, you will be playing on Official servers. If you launch the game from our launcher, you will be playing on our servers.
Number 8: How do we host servers? Could we just click a "Create a server" button inside the client or do we need server files?
Asking 'cause I have read posts that say the BF3 server files are useless because VU is not even an emulator at all.

Each status has limitations on how many server you can run with. Official server hosters are able to host an infinite amount of servers. The higher the status the more servers you can host.
