Reviewing #WordPress plugins for use on the websites my team maintains. One candidate is clearly superior in terms of functionality, but we're probably not going to be using it.

Pro tip: If you'd like to sell your plugin to bigger orgs, please do not add excessive branding in wp-admin. No upsells, banners, "rate us on wp.org" and other bullshit.

Our editors shouldn't even need to know your plugin's name. They should simply have new options that blend in and work reliably.

@dvk Did you see @chris 's toot about Hetzner now accepting USD? I get the feeling that it does indeed complicate things for US cleints.

@amszmidt @Zodiac1978 @rianrietveld @skc I think the readme.txt file is the closest equivalent, since it points to the license's URL. For ACF Pro, it says 'Contributors: elliotcondon'. SCF has 'Contributors: wordpressdotorg'.

@Zodiac1978 @rianrietveld @skc But removing credits from a project is not allowed under the GPL. I think they did that here.

Also, Automattic will be in count here in NL on the 27th, in a case against a supplier of nulled plugins. But now they do it themselves?

@nathanwrigley I think the press is catching on to the fact the current AI "solutions" require tons of energy to transform pirated content into incorrect answers.
