@Jeffro –

I am upset because I think this post gives extremely one-sided coverage of the issue via wording, interpretation and suggested linked posts (Ben Cook used some nicely fitting and colorful words to describe one of those on Twitter).

I am upset by this post being a concentrated cocktail of what is (as for me) core problem of WordPress&GPL&derivatives situation – turning vague legal issue into mess of political bs and superseding facts with opinions.

From where I stand the only fault of Chris I see in this situation is that Thesis had actual WP code included (which is something he did not do personally, but missed – it was done by one of past developers, as I understood from tweets and such).

Which was resolved promptly and in line with Matt’s position on licenses.

( Still a bastard. Kiiiiick! )

Naive userbase that doesn’t care about licenses as opposed to educated community of open source supporters? Absolutely most of WordPress userbase is probably naive and doesn’t care. As I said on forum recently – several geeks on dedicated site are not user base.

PS Jeffro, personally do you consider ME menace and GPL-opposing force? I think you had some time and seen enough of my forum posts / tweets / whatever to determine where I stand.
