I knew exactly that they would drop the GPL code after the first round. Their responses were pathetic.

"I did not know that we were fighting"

"We are great because we open source other stuff"

"MIT has a 'BUG' " pfff.

Funny thing is in another context I would even get the reasoning.

But for WIX (Wixxen is German for masturbate btw) I think the claim that the MIT did not intend this is total BS, I think this is a very personal FU to Matt a "hell no you will not make us do anything" move.

But the funny thing is that is kind of what the GPLv3 is doing it forces people to license enhancement with the a comparable license and the only license listed as compatible is Apache 2.0 so it for now is almost as if you force the GPLv3 on people who use your code. I personally love this and specifically chose GPLv3 for my code because I personally think GPLv3 is the most ethical and best license. I don't want Tivoisatio) and stuff done with my code.

But they did not have any deep thought about licensing, they just have no clue, grab some stuff from the web and then get childish when they are educated about their volatilizations.

People use MIT specifically because it has very few restrictions and thats the opposite or GPLv3 for example. So calling it "Enhanced MIT" is a oxymoron.

They will soon learn that they are making themselves look very sill with this. They should just save themselves the trouble and stick with the WP code and the GPL or at least stick with the MIT if they now dropped the WP code.
