[wp-hackers] WordPress plugin update bugs

[Omry Yadan]

great.

now, what about non-gpl plugins?

how can those plugins receive the same service?

do we agree that for the sake of the users, it's better to enable this 
functionality for all plugins, regardless of their license?

(for the record, I don't have much to gain here personally, my own 
plugin got it's own version check mechanism, and it will continue to use 
it in any case).
