Comment on WordPress creator slams Wix: ‘Your app editor is built with stolen code’parent

Comments

About "everything we improved there or modified, we submitted back as open source", the GPL doesn't let you redistribute modified code and only release the modified code unfortunately. I guess "we will release the app you saw as well" may mean that they'd open source the whole app and thus be compliant.

Also the fact that the company was once also known as "Wixpress" is easy to verify [1], not sure why he would contest that.
