The reason most lawyers on HN have refrained from arguing the parent issue is that it can go both ways. Copyright law is intentionally ambiguous, and court rulings are all over the place. There's really no knowing how the court will rule until it actually does.
- mukyu 16y agoI am not ignorant of how laws work. I have spent a lot of time understanding copyright law and in particular copyright licenses. In my post, I did not even comment on the wordpress issue at hand or even put forth an argument regarding it. I was only commenting on tzs's proposed scenario trying to fill in what I saw as a gap.
