@donnacha | WordSkill - I understand the GPL just fine, thanks, though I don't appreciate your condescension.

The GPL is very straight-forward, and easy to understand.

I also don't appreciate the notion that having a say in WordPress requires contributing code. So much for the concept that "there are other ways to contribute", eh? Some of us aren't coders, and will never contribute a line of meaningful code. That means that we should never get a say in WordPress, or its community?

And why on earth would I want to fork? I love WordPress. I don't have, and have never expressed, a problem with the WordPress code.

And by the way, I *am* a "regular WordPress user". There is nothing "Rush Limbaugh / Bill O'Reilly" style (whatever that means), hateful, or sloppy about my arguments. I've not argued against the WordPress project, though I have disagreed with statements that Matt has made.

You know, Donnacha, I highly respect you. You have no reason whatsoever for the specious tirade you just leveled against me. If you want to do more than take cheap shots at me, come join us in the Tavern Forum, where we are having a respectful, adult conversation on the subject.
