   Just wondering why the move and what "special circumstances" are?

   Was there a falling out? Or is wordpress.org getting flaky?
   Just wondering.

   I just saw that a second ago - came back here to post it, but you beat me to it!

   He sounds like a total rat - I've left a piece of my mind on his blog!

   Who does he think he is? Some kind of netkkkop?

   I'm actually thankful for that post, because otherwise I would have been misled to think that the forms are under gpl as are other licenses. I'm not fancy to open my site for promotion - if I want to thank a plugin author, I have other ways of doing so. But being able to modify the plugin to suit my site is essential :)

   hmmm, something tells me this guy might have a plugin of his own up his sleeve which he'll be trying to get more exposure by taking out cforms

   You know, I just hate it when people get in a snit. *sigh* I try not to point fingers about who is right or wrong. The bottom line is that the community is losing a useful plugin. It's up to the community to do something about the void that will be left for many users. ;)

   Sorry guys but as good as the plugin is all of them and all the templates hosted on this site must be released with a GPL compatible license. I can't see why someone bringing this up is an issue (perhaps the way he brought it up?)

   Anyway, the plugin has now been released under GPL at the authors homepage so perhaps someone can ask for it to be resubmitted?

   This dude has nothing better than talk endlessly about everything, has to much to say. He needs to get out his seattle apartment and get a life. The whole WP repository needs to be overhauled, there is some very dodgy plugins listed there that promote insecurity on any site they run on, wheres the scrutinzing of those plugins. Those that claim GPL also have there flaws on making use of pot's that are not accessible, surely ALL source coding and files supplied are to be accessible and editable.

   'been following the lynching of cforms - jeez give this guy a break, 400-some thousand downloads and all he's getting is a kick in the *ss?

   on a side note: just came across an interesting comment here...hm, that raises a whole other question...??!
