Came across this recently published friendly guide to the GPL and WordPress licensing by Ivycat. It’s not filled with debates on what plugins and themes should do but generally just covers the basics and highlights things to know. If you’re new to WordPress or curious of it’s licensing, this is a good article to read before diving into the entire GPL v2 license text.

Hey Jeffro,
Glad you enjoyed the GPL post and really appreciate the link. I tried to keep it light on drama – that’s easy to stir up.
I found it really interesting that at our local WP Meetup, that there are a lot of WP devs that don’t understand their rights and obligations under the GPL license.
This was my attempt to clarify. :)
