However in one jurisdiction I know about that has case law - the US - you can find some GPL cases. And about derivates: It's written in the legal code there. I think the law is even called "copyright" in these old books already. Most likely at least the legal code nor the existing cases count as opinion in your eyes I guess, right? | |

But anyway you refer to a network service which is used by a plugin then. Like making a request to the google search engine for a term. Naturally such a plugin wouldn't deliver the sourcecode for the google search but only on how to invoke it. I see a difference beween the actual plugin and a remote service. | |

I understand that you cannot hide the source-code or not allow people to redistribute it. Again, this is only valid for the PHP code - the JS and CSS that you create does not come under GPL unless you yourself put it under that. So, effectively you can always just tell your users that they can redistribute all the PHP in your plugin as they like - but, the JS and CSS can not be redistributed (see Thesis license for more). | |
