[theme-reviewers] GPL

[Chandra Maharzan]

Well, I can actually control a section of code and not allow people to
modify it with GPLv3. To my understanding, this is against what WP
does right now. I don't know where that can lead to, perhaps a
discussion  we had when WP changed over to GPL ?

But that does not imply that GPLv3 does not permit anyone to reuse or change the code, a claim that’s hard to swallow given that is the very goal of the GPLvAnything, yes?
