It seems that current versions are GPL compatible. Now its just a matter re-entry to wordpress.org so we can auto-update again. manually updating for dozens of sites can be a pain.

[...] L’accusa: un tale, sicuramente annoiato a morte dalla sua vita vuota e monotona, ha obiettato il fatto che a Mr. Seidel, autore di CFORMS, scocci un po’ che il suo lavoro, rilasciato gratuitamente, venga rivenduto da altri, senza la MINIMA menzione al suo lavoro originario, da persone che nemmeno apportano reali modifiche al plugin. L’autore inoltre specifica anche che non ha niente in contrario all’utilizzo del plugin a scopi commerciali, e nemmeno alla sua ulteriore distribuzione e/o vendita. Semplicemente, gli dà comprensibilmente fastidio, che ci sia gente disonesta che si prenda meriti che non ha. [...]

I’m so glad someone had the guts to point this out. Developing for Wordpress requires to go with the GPL flow, it’s as simple as that.

Problem is that the next best thing Gravity Forms, is also not compliant with GPL as it requires a Support License Key to be fully functional.

So for everyone else, you might want to check out Contact Form 7. Way to go!

[...] Le Plugin Directory de WordPress est une immense base de données où sont réunis des centaines de plugins pour WordPress. Pour y figurer, les développeurs doivent notamment attester que le plugin qu’ils proposent est compatible avec la licence GPL (une licence libre très répandue). Pourtant, le plugin cforms 2 n’était pas compatible avec cette licence pendant tout le temps où il était dans cet annuaire. Son développeur, Oliver Seidel, avait donc menti lors de la proposition de son plugin dans le repositery, afin de bénéficier de tous les avantages de ce dernier (mise en avant des plugins, mises à jour automatiques etc.). Si vous comprenez l’anglais, je vous suggère de lire : “cforms II does not use a GPL compatible license”. [...]

But yet when Matt does the same thing, people stand up and clap. I wonder if you see the irony.
