"He seems to not understand the difference between lgpl and the gpl."
If calling a function from a GPL project or having css/html that interact with a GPL project means that your project needs to also be open sourced, this should be a wakeup call to all businesses to not get anywhere near the license.
- icey 16y agoWordPress' position on what parts must be GPLed is quite clear, and explicitly excludes CSS and media. The PHP portions of the themes are the parts they argue must be GPLed.

Sorry for the repetition, but I think it was worth mentioning in both places.)
