Comment(by hakre):

 Replying to [comment:9 demetris]:
 You, together with jacobsantos and wesit all say, that this has been done
 to clarify the license that ships with wordpress. Clarification is a
 process, so you all three admit that changing the wording of the copyright
 notice does make something more clear. But with that you already wrote
 that there was space for reading the copyright notice in some other
 direction.

 And that's exactly why it's important that ''before'' such changes are
 done the copyright holder must be notified. That was not done.

 It was not me who was putting GPL v3 on topic here. Read my words. My
 report only covers the change of the copyright message. And as an author
 of this software I have some dedicated rights. Do you want to take those
 away from me?
