How can this even be hard to understand? Thousands of OSS projects thrive under the terms of GPL without muddying the waters.

Those plugin devs here who justify your lying licensing practices, how do you sleep at night? Or are you just willfully ignorant?

As someone who's been involved with FLOSS for over 15 years, it appears a great number of WP plugin devs to be disingenuous opportunists who prey on the lack of knowledge of end users.

The Wordpress org. needs to clean up this mess. Start by only allowing free plugins on wordpress.org and then enforce punitive measures towards companies that deliberately misinform.
