@John - I agree, I was speaking about this specific incident, I don't understand why people are blurring it with the more general argument of derivative or dependent code. I try not to argue about that anymore, waste of time, the most productive people in the community have made their feelings clear, we should respect their wishes, there is something parasitical and scavenger-like in the attitude of the people who invest so much of their time in campaigning against WordPress but I would rather spend my time coding than arguing the point, nobody is going to talk them out of their sense of entitlement, it would be like trying to explain ethics to George W. Bush.

Anyway, I think this thread is cooked, my last comment only appeared recently because it contained a link and was, therefore, held in the moderation queue for a couple of days, I didn't mean to resurrect this zombie. Peace and love, everyone.
