Joomla! - the licence stays the same

,----[ Quote ]
| Christopher Justice says: "...we haven't changed the license and we 
| have no plans to.  We have raised the visibility of the GPL and we're
| encouraging a better understanding of the GPL. It is our view that 
| extensions are derivative works and therefore we encourage all 
| extensions to be GPL compliant. The Joomla! community has grown to 
| over 110,000 members with the same license and a huge community of 
| commercial and non-commercial developers. There are some non-GPL 
| compliant extensions but the majority of the extensions available 
| are GPL. As the project continues to grow, we'll focus more on GPL 
| extensions to build a stronger and more open project and community."

This was not posted to COLA, but some Luddites complained because they wanted
to shove blobs or restricted software into Joomla.
