In reply to Nathan.

Indeed. This was a quarrel between rival CEOs, the GPL just played into Mullenweg's hand.

Regardless of what I think about WordPress or Wix, Mullenweg lost points with me in this whole ordeal. It's a bit like instead of telling his friend that his wife was cheating on him, he takes out an ad in the paper and lets everybody know about it first. This could have been resolved with a phone call and then if Wix didn't respond, call them out on it.

Taking the "moral" high ground here doesn't make up for being smug. Passive aggressive BS at its finest.
