[wp-hackers] Alternative Licences for WP Plugins?

[Phillip Pearson]

The GPL lets people "sell" copies of your plugin or anything they make 
based on it, but it also requires that they give people the same rights, 
and let people freely distribute it.  So it's unlikely that they would 
make much money doing this :-)

Cheers,
Phil
