If so, this is noted on the item page and license information will be included in the download files. <b>In these cases, the GPL license applies to the whole item instead of the terms of the Regular or Extended License.</b> Different versions of the GPL exist and the relevant version of the GPL will identified.

I'm not sure why you've been so confrontational with me. I don't
care to argue about the license. I wanted something clarified
because I kept getting a bunch of op-ed pieces in my inbox. I
simply wanted a factual answer to a single question that I raised.
This question has nothing to do with an opinion either way on the
matter.<br>
<br>
If you want my personal opinion on what I can see from their site,
I'm not a fan of what they're doing. I don't think it's a site that
should be promoted on WordPress.org.<div><br>

I've answered Justin a couple times now, I'm sorry if you
don't like the answer or are trying to manipulate the
conversation to get the answer you want to hear, but I'm
not sure what more you want.<br>
<br>
</div>
Take the time to read through the entire conversation
starting here:<br>

And then followed up in this email discussion and make your
own informed opinion on the entire issue.<br>
<br>

Yeah, it sucks, it's a lot of reading. But, if you don't like my
summations of the issues covered, sorry, I can't do it for you.<br>
