Comment (by zamoose):
hakre:
Your subject was a bit on the incendiary/absolutist side of things. Sans a
qualified legal opinion or actual judgement, stating that it absolutely
terminates the GPL for the entirety of WordPress isn't (if you'll excuse
the term) in evidence. I edited it a bit for wiggle room.
