WordPress creator slams Wix: ‘Your app editor is built with stolen code’
So copyright infringement isn't 'theft', yet violating the GNU is theft?  You can't download a car....<p>I'm really tired of these arguments.  If you release something and say that it's 'free', it's pretty disingenuous to chase after someone for not releasing their own changes.<p>Calling it 'theft' doesn't really make sense because nothing of value was actually stolen.  The original code is still there for all to enjoy.<p>Most places I've worked stay away from GNU code (besides compilers, servers, and anything not used in the main product) like the plague because of people like Matt Mullenweg.<p>I would much rather have the BSD license, which is truly free  for everyone.<p>UPDATE: I always thought HN was the place for intelligent discourse, yet I am always disappointed.
