mfs George Stephanis said: “It says nothing about the external API that it interfaces with needing to be public GPL code “ So that’s the loop hole then? Bury your core code behind an external API, put the necessary fluff in the actually plugin and then that’s okay? Legally/ technically that feels fine. But it also feels like it makes the rich richer. That is, if you’re able to do such technology magic, you’ve skated the law. However, if you’re not so versed – and just an average Joe / Jane dev – then you’re screwed. Ouch. Feels ugly, dirty and perhaps dated. Is this where WP is headed?
