Well, for one, you can't make small modifications to the code and then resell it as a commercial product with the original author's copyrights tucked away in an about box. You'd actually have to release the source code too. It will be harder to convince customers you've added value if they can see exactly what you've changed.

I have to know: Was this is an ironic statement?
No one is taking it as one, but poe's law aside I'm convinced they are wrong.

I don't get it... is your added value simply an illusion?
If they can see what you've changed the code, they should be able to see why and how you added value.
We have some ideas on how we'll facilitate that. There will definitely be ways for people to sell plugins they create and or for large companies to keep them closed source.
