FAQ Plugin gesucht

Naja, es scheint ja an sich ganz gut zu funktionieren. Insofern spricht ja nichts gegen eine Verwendung (der Originalversion).

Nur ich als OpenSource-Purist bekomme bei solchen Sachen immer das kalte Ihrwisstschonwas... und ich frage mich, warum man die paar Zeilen Code wie ein Schießhund bewachen muss. Letztendlich profitiert man gerade bei solchen Sachen von einer offenen Lizenz.

Ich habe übrigens gute Neuigkeiten. Habe dem Autor mal eine Frage bzgl. der Lizenz ins Stammbuch geschrieben -- die Antwort lässt hoffen.

Question From Alex:
Hello Vaam, you've got such a nice FAQ plugin there. Why do you distribute it under such a restrictive license? See, many people work with OpenSource software and everybody benefits from the freedoms to distribute and modify it. You yourself will have to admit that you benefit from a permissive licensing (with the modified Rin theme and parts taken from mozilla.org). And if somebody would be out to steal your code, they don't care about the license anyway. Besides, if you start to distribute this plugin with WordPress (e.g. you install it for a customer), you violate WordPress' very own license terms. Lots of people would love to improve the plugin and share it (I'm actually dropping from a forum where this is discussed right now). Would it be asked to much that you publish your plugin under an OpenSource license?

Answer:
There once was a time when ALL my plugins were licensed under the GPL. My memory is crappy and it's been so long so I don't remember specifics, but basically there was a backlash to the release of my "Donations" plugin only available to donors of the site. I got disenchanted with the GPL and the people who were only the day before praising my other plugins.
One day I'll release the plugins under the GPL; because I believe it's the right thing to do... just not today.

Also Dein Englisch ist irgendwie besser als meins, also war das schon gut, dass ich die Füße noch still gehalten und mich einfach mal frech auf Dich verlassen habe :mrgreen:

kann es sein dass das Plugin noch ein Umlautsproblem im admin modus hat?
