- I'm not really even worried about the legality of anything.
Ultimately, whether non-profit or not, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
target="_blank" href="http://wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a>
is ultimately someone else's website and to be hosted on their site we
must play by their rules. Fortunately, it's a community that doesn't
generally set hard-and-fast rules and say take it or leave and instead
allows open debate like this.<br><br></div>All one needs to do is take a
step back, remove both .org and the developer from the equation and
think about what's going to cause the least amount of frustration for
the end-user.<br><br></div>That's how our internal conversations go down
with the CyberChimps team. To me, that seems like the most logical and
objective approach.<br><br><b>@tskk79</b> - Alright, well I'll thank you
for your input and wish you a good weekend. Hopefully we can put a pin
in this until Monday.<br></div>

I just sent a note to
Trent, too.<br>
<br>
I'm not 100% sure that these people recognize that they really aren't a
little free software organization any more, and even though the base
organization is non-profit, they are certainly subject to a whole lot of
interstate commerce law. I have little doubt that depriving us of our
brand name is not even remotely legal.<br>
<br>
I would seriously consider joining with you in seeking legal counsel
and even in a lawsuit if it comes to it. They are wrong, and they would
be depriving us of our legal rights, even if they are a volunteer
non-profit. And they are so wrong.<br>

- Thank you very much for hopping into this discussion, as
ironically, everyone has been using your theme as an example for
precedence of how this situation should be handled in favor of NOT
allowing us to do what we need to, when in fact how you handled the
major Weaver
upgrade is exactly how we would like to handle Responsive's new upgrade.<br><br></div>Not
confusing at all and definitely in the best interest for the end-user.
The alternative suggestions so far, just develop backwards-compatibility
(bloat), discontinue one version to open another (dropping support
for users that don't want to switch), changing the theme name
(confusing users who are looking for the newest incarnation), update
directly over version 1.0 (inevitably breaking many websites and taking
the blame for it) etc. have all been both more difficult in terms of
development and more confusing for users, besides being contrary to
logic.<br><br></div>What you've done and what we would like to do is
hands-down the most graceful way to handle the situation. Hopefully, we
get a yes on that.<br><br></div>Thank you.<br></div>
