@Andreas Nurbo - You seem to have an ax to grind with Automattic, and that's not relevant to the blog post, nor the comments based on it. We have no idea what license(s) they're using internally because no one but Automattic has access to that code, therefore it's irrelevant to anyone outside the company.

In John's case, he has released this app for public consumption. So, his choosing not to open source it (which I agree he legally has the right to do) is something we are affected by, it's very relevant, if we want to use the app. I just think his motives for doing so are suspect. I've already given my reasons for not trusting him, which was the entire point of my original comment.
