I also tend to buy add-on products and 3rd party applications to do the same jobs. Why? Sometimes it's faster to leverage existing materials than to make them from scratch! Plus it's just plain cool to get to new heights and farther along than was previously possible when one is limited by his/her own creations or skills.

These developers have helped you reach the position you are in now. Please do not kill Joomla by making this mistake. You have created a super product but the success is not yours alone.

The current mixture of GPL and commercial development has helped to grow Joomla to be the world's leading Content Management System, for over 100,000 users. The new direction on strict GPL licencing threatens this ecosystem.

We therefore ask that the new GPL only policy is withdrawn, and that Joomla reinstates its previous policy to all

I'd use Joomla if it was commercial software at £10k a licence - I use it because it is the best, and the 3rd P apps help make it so...

Wittering on a about the exact wording of the GPL is for folk with too much time on their hands...

ie.
http://www.ravenswoodit.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=58&Itemid=6

there are more than 200 free cms' out there.

joomla only became popular because of the products and the support from the developers for their products. Given the support the community grew.

Without good products and good support, then you'll have to compare yourself with the other 200 cms' out there, some have a smaller footprint and are easier to use.

One has the choice to use or not use commercial add-ons. It helps to spread Jooma if there are paid developers working on it, and leads to even more "free" software being released as well.

It is good to encourage developers to GPL their code, but not good to prohibit commercial licenses for add-ons.

If commercial add-ons are good enough to be worth paying for, they will succeed. Lots of "free" add-ons are a waste of time and do not work properly.

If, during the mambo / joomla split, this annoucement was made, I'm sure a lot of developers would not have jumped to joomla.

It is destroying the value proposition for developers to stay on. Which good products from good developers, the joomla market will collapse.
There are over 100 free CMS out there, why is joomla more popular? Because of the products and support.

From such intelligent individuals, I do not understand how such a decision was agreed upon. It is damaging to my business, other's interests with Joomla!, and Joomla!'s future for sure. The rug has been pulled from under everyone. As a linux user as well, it makes no sense what so ever. Joomla! > all else it seems is the message. I hope the core team sees the err in their ways soon.
