    Unless you also release your non-php assets under GPL, you still retain control over who you choose to license them to. It does not give everyone else the right to give your stuff away.
    That is exactly how I understood the situation to be.....

    But we are both idiots right???

    Yeah that wasnt a direct quote from candy.. just what my concensus from our convo was.

        Mark Jacquith, Lead developer for WP

        My JS/CSS/Images are 100% original. Do they have to be GPL?
        No, they don?t. If they aren?t based on GPL?d JavaScript, CSS, or images, you are not forced to make them GPL. What you could do is offer a theme under a split license. The PHP would be under the GPL, but other static resources could be under some other license.

          I'm also not an expert on GPL. But it helps to read an actual case study of a company walking away from GPL, causing an huge scandal in the WP/GPL community, and then compromised by releasing the framework under a split GPL.

          Chris Pearson relents and Thesis is now available under a split GPL

                    Frankly, it's better than the alternative. Which is 8 more pages of burgerflip insisting he's right, and everyone else is wrong.

                    The way he's fighting on this topic, you'd think he was getting paid in .50ct Android apps.

                    He is one thick headed, stubborn motherfucker, that's for sure.
