Ah forgot about the title and that one word makes everything else make
sense. Cheers. Yea I have to agree that code isn't obfuscated.

If you look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/ You will see
clause 5 of the requirements being if no license is specified it is
GPLv2.

You are claiming that because it doesn't fill your preference of how
source code should be laid out, it's non-free? Well using that logic
code that has { } on separate lines is non-free because it's not my
preference to have it laid out. Since I am not a lawyer I am not sure
but not having new lines in your code doesn't seem like a GPL breaker
and the line you seem to be focused on seems to be explanatory and not
a clause.
