Alec Kinnear Personally, I’m a bit fatigued by Wordpress.org, Matt Mullenweg, Wordcamp and all the rest of “official” Wordpress bullying us all. Just got notification that if we don’t make ALL our code GPL, we can no longer sponsor or present at Wordcamps (we’ve been a Gold or Silver sponsor in Bratislava for each of the past three years, presenting every year). We’ve got at least a dozen free plugins but I see no reason why we should be obligated to make our commercial code GPL. And if we don’t, I see no reason why we should not be allowed to continue to support the Wordpress project. So kudos to Jaff Yablon for learning about trademark law and standing up to our new Big Brother.
