[wp-hackers] Premium plugin protection

There are plenty more than 4 commercial plugins vendors. However, if you're
looking to sell software, you don't *have* to sell WordPress plugins, or
software based on anything in the open source world. There are plenty of
other opportunities out there.

-------

With respect to WordPress plugins there are over 10k plugins in the
repository but only 4 vendors that appear to have a viable business
that we can name.  Just sayin...

This isn't my opinion. Plugins that serve no purpose other than
needlessly as a wrapper for a premium service aren't allowed in the
directory, and if reported, they'll be removed.

--------

Is it wrong to architect a plugin that hosts some of its code on the
server? And if so, why is there nothing official written to that
effect? Or is it just one man's opinion?
