Does the use of private plugins breach the terms of the GNU GPL v2?

I think this an important conversation to have, but it would work better framed as a WordPress discussion, addressed to the WP community. They have over a decade with experience with this, and plenty of lawyers whose job it is to make sure their clients don’t get ruined by a misinterpretation of the GPL.

Maybe write a personal blog post about it and try spread it around, or get in touch with https://wptavern.com and ask to do a guest post there as I’m sure they’d be interested in this topic.
