I’ve had a surprising number of questions about the “free unlimited-user copy of WordPress” prize for the color scheme contest. To clarify, that was a joke. WordPress is Free. 🙂

For a moment there I thought the world was going to end…
omg i am so happy. 🙂
Damn, I uninstalled all my copies because I thought you’d sold out 🙁
name and shame them!
Well, shame on me then, since I even went on IRC to ask about it; however, I know that anyone can fork WP into a for-pay release for as long as everything that came before that fork remained under the GPL.
Jay that’s only possible if you have the permission of every copyright holder that has any code in the WordPress codebase. That’s right, every person who has ever contributed code. When the copyright is controlled by a single entity (like MT) they can change the license willy-nilly, but WordPress is GPL through and through.
Re: #6 – brilliant! I hadn’t realised that!
