 Yeah, this is a very, very, very unpleasant situation.

 If a fraction of the time the self-proclaimed licence-police had burned
 down to check ''other persons'' theme php code had been invested to verify
 the ''own codebase'' in advance, that had made acutally sense.

 Isn't it the GPL which states that you do not need to enforce their usage
 of third parties? Doesn't that imply that you start with your own code?
 Isn't that generally good practice in life?
