		<description>Joost,

It was only because reuse of some functions like those, i credited your name in the code (on moral grounds), as mentioned in my comment above. But just ripping off and putting it in another code won’t work as you think.

It needs work on several other areas of code…Even as seperate plugins all in one SEO and robots meta tag plugins were not compatible in full…

Again let me put it clear to you that the architecture is different.It is only a few functions like those you mention were reused and this is perfectly within the spirit of GPL.

As you seem to be talking too much on GPL, let me clarify things to you:

1) All wordpress plugins must be GPL compatible - Refer http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/

Your source code does not even include a license. I don’t know, how you added it in the repository without even a license.

Read GPL V2 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)
and GPL V3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html) in full and understand the terms and conditions.

Read this - http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TheGPLSaysModifiedVersions

In the FAQ read in particular “Why does the GPL permit users to publish their modified versions?”

The FAQ also clearly states “GNU GPL does not restrict what people do in software, it just stops them from restricting others.” as an answer against the question “Does GPLv3 prohibit DRM?”

Read what http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses says on “Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)” and why it is not compatible with GPL V2?

What does that imply?
This implies GPL V3 permits you to require modifiers to retain attribution notices but not GPL V2.

But you also read “14. Revised Versions of this License.” in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html. 

It clearly states “If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.” 

So if at all you want to “demand” attribution, release it under GPL V3 or later license, add the attribution requirement clause and the additional terms required under section 7 of GPL V3.

But first of all make sure you have the GPL notice pasted on your program/source code (Read “How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs” under http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html).

This will also help to understand the definition of “Free Software”, the foundation behind GPL.

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

You sent me a threatening mail for ripping (is it completely used as such??) your code.I replied you that All in one SEO deserves more credit as i follow its architecture.But as I have used a few functions like you have mentioned (absolutely within the spirit of GPL), I had given credit to you on moral grounds (outside GPL) in my source code.So do not continue to use words like “foolish”.Know what GPL is before writing wordpress plugins.Wordpress plugins are for the community and have the community feeling while writing them.Do not demand/threaten anyone.you are free not to write them, if you don’t like the spirit behind GPL.

let me add, that i am not one who does not like to give credit. I have credited Uberdose (as well as you).All these have been done, as i respect morality and ethics.</description>

		<description>@Joost: I&#039;m very sorry to hear this.  I was aware it took code from All In One SEO but didn&#039;t know it included other uncredited plugins as well.  Hopefully the author of Platinum SEO (who commented above) can give you and others proper attribution.</description>

		<description>Platinum SEO is a ripoff of code of other plugins (including my own robots meta plugin), without properly attributing those plugins. As such, it&#039;s a fraud.</description>
