An Apology and a Question

,----[ Quote ]
| Imagine: a client comes to me and asks to me to build a site for them using 
| WordPress and a paid GPL theme. The ciient also wants a set of customizations 
| made to the theme and site functionality. Some of the custom functionality 
| requested is different visual treatments for each post, based on the post 
| category. This is a fairly common request for larger publishing sites, and 
| one of the reasons we built the Carrington CMS theme framework (which 
| automates this).      
| 
| [...]
| 
| I obviously have a vested interest in the WordPress ecosystem remaining 
| strong. I also want people to be able to make a commercial living in that 
| ecosystem (my team included).  
| 
| However, I don’t think it’s reasonable to build that ecosystem on the premise 
| that we should ignore certain freedoms of the GPL – and I feel like some 
| folks are asking for that to happen.

Open Source Rocks

| I've been doing a little work on a proof-of-concept for a new fully
| WordPress driven alexking.org site. I'm working off of the current WP
| trunk ("trunk" is the place bugs are created in any software), so naturally
| I ran into a couple of minor issues.
|
| After a brief IM conversation with Ryan to make sure I was fixing the
| issues correctly, I submitted a patch and minutes later it was
| committed. Fantastic!
