Is Fris really suggesting his clients use an old version of Wordpress when they can't upgrade because they have an "illegal" copy of a plugin or theme?
Even the developer suggested that would be a risk.

No there is no loophole. If it's licensed as GPL then it's able to be given away and resold. Its not a loophole, its not a grey area.That's all fine and dandy with the GPL, but that's not the point.
The people who CREATED what Fris is giving away or selling say "We do not want you giving away or re-selling our content."
Fris is taking advantage of a legal loop-hole while costing businesses real clients and real sales.
I realise you are actually Gimme Website posting, but I am pointing this out because your outright LIES are misleading others.Comment

It's not an illegal copy, its a perfectly legitimate copy as the GPL allows software to be given away or resold.
Making profound misrepresentations like this help nobody and only go to confuse people when there is no confusion, however that's your intention I am sure.Comment

You are right about the GPL nobody is arguing the GPL.
What you are doing is saying it's OK for Fris to take advantage of the GPL to use other people's work to make money.
OK that's cool, but you are wrong.
The creator does not want him giving away or reselling the content.
That's all that matters.Last edited by Tijuana_Tom; 06-16-2012, 01:09 AM.Comment

It's perfectly ok for Fris to sell or give away GPL licensed software because that's what the GPL intended. Once you release GPL code you are basically bound to honor the license. Which means anyone who complains about their software being resold after they release it under the GPL has no leg to stand on.
By releasing GPL software you EXPLICITLY say that it's ok for people to give away or resell your software REGARDLESS of whether it's commercial or not.
I think it's time you stopped posting here as you're transparently Anna and are just aggravating the harm to yourself by doing so.Comment

You can argue this all you want. What Fris is doing is wrong.
You are only hurting your OWN reputation defending Fris soo adamantly.
Lots of argument over this stuff being GPL.
Why do you keep calling GimmeWebsite by her first supposed name "Anna" it's extremely creepy.Comment

Amazingly brazen response. Gideon supports piracy, copying free software and giving it away is not piracy.LOL You sound like GideonGallery

You have no argument as the GPL site itself makes the situation crystal clear. It's not even a debate. It's just one person against the entire GNU/GPL system under which thousands if not tens of thousands of software products are licensed.
As you can't read I'll repost what the GPL allows and a link to the official GNU/GPL website for anyone gullible enough to believe what you are saying.
The GPL allows:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.htmlthe freedom to use the software for any purpose,
the freedom to change the software to suit your needs,
the freedom to share the software with your friends and neighbors, and
the freedom to share the changes you make.Comment

1. Barefootsies is a real smart guy. He is also quite a gentleman and knows have to have a debate based on facts and not heresay....
2. Candyflip, Is actualy quite a nice guy when you take the heat out of the arguement and talk like human beings.

I want to see a new thread with all of you faill trolls, fake nicks and morons admitting what Fris is doing is unethical.
Gimme-Website gets a KUDOS from me for calling Fris out. Maybe the money laundering accusation was going overboard (Even if true) but everything else she meant with good albeit bad intentions.
No I don't give a fuu about Fris or GimmeWebsite for that matter.Comment

I Never accused anyone of money laundering though.. gotta clear that one up.
I said using someone elses paypal to sell hooky warez is a great way to take any liability off your shoulders should the shit hit the fan. And im correct... it is.Comment
